This page needs revision... one part claims it is told in "Flashbacks" and is mistakenly thought to be written in the third person, and in the section immediately afterward it says the novel is written in the third person. Really "who" the narrator is is ambiguous. It is definitely third person in the sense that it can't be the first person of Chris because it refers to her as "Chris" and not "I" or "me," but on the other hand, Chris is most of the time the center of consciousness for the narration, but then again at other times it seems to be the community at large's consciousness. This style of narrating in the third person but as if through the consciousness of someone or some group in particular is called free indirect style. Also, the part where it says "many women have been known" to say the description of childbirth couldn't have been written by a man definitely needsan some sort of reference.
