What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Abigail?

Szabó uses a limited third-person point of view to narrate the novel in the past tense, largely from Gina’s perspective. Because the perspective is primarily constrained to Gina’s immediate thoughts as the action unfolds, the narration is often unreliable and prone to hyperbole, which both produces comic relief — particularly during scenes involving the stern teachers of the Matula — and tension, especially when the reader receives evidence contrary to Gina’s speculations.

Szabó also sometimes writes from the voice of a secondary character, such as Gedeon Torma or the General. In additions, she occasionally shifts the timeframe to write from an omniscient third-person perspective, which is presumably the voice of Gina as an adult, re-evaluating and reflecting upon the moments of her past.
