A Goodreads user asked this question about Candide:
About how old should one be to read Candide? (I'm considering giving a copy to my daughter who is 15 years old.)
Amaryllis (Amy) Washington It depends on the person, but in general I think that anyone 14 and older should be able to enjoy and understand it.
