![]() ![]() ![]() I've seen posts and comments claiming that Kath was an unreliable narrator, but I think I have the meaning incorrect in my head, because I don't think she is. I think this narrative style drove home the point of the whole story which to me was Kath reconciling her life and clinging on to every small bit of memory she could of a life long gone. In any other book with an 'action and telling' narration style, it would've been the opposite. ![]() Sometimes Kath would focus on trivial details like the colour of her blouse, or the shadow falling on the fern patch where she sat having a conversation (I'm only guessing and it's not something that has actually happened in the book) with either of her friends, instead of actually on the conversation. I cannot recall if I've ever read a book that focuses primarily on the narrator recalling their own memories. Right off, I very much liked the narrative style. ![]()
