comment on structure

The structure of "A God in Ruins" is a mix-up of chronology. It is a story told one piece at a time, from one person at a time. The narrator is omniscient, but each chapter tends to focus mostly on one of the main characters, either Teddy, Nancy, Viola, Sunny, or Bertie, so it's mostly that character's thoughts, words, and actions that are in his or her chapter.
