Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Third Person (Limited Omniscient)
Although the narrator stays inside Meridian's head for most of the novel, there are a handful of chapters told from Lynne's and Truman's perspectives. That being said, the narrator doesn't have a voice of her own. Instead, it's shaped by the person whose head she's residing in at the moment. This allows us to examine the novel's complicated themes from multiple perspectives, giving us a well-balanced understanding of the issues involved.
