What is the author's style in Corregidora by Gayl Jones?

The story is written in first person from Ursa Corregidora's point of view. The perspective is limited to Ursa but historical information is presented through several methods, chiefly through stories told to Ursa by her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Many of these are told when Ursa is a child but she remembers them or relates them to other people as an adult, thereby presenting them to the reader.
