Mare of Easttown is a strong option for learners who already feel comfortable with English and want a more demanding challenge. The vocabulary is not overly technical, though it includes enough variety to make the practice meaningful. At an average of around 99 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention.
