What is the author's style in Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali?

Hirsi Ali speaks in a soft tone throughout most of the book, leaving the reader feeling sorry for her life, as if she had no control of how badly things continued to be for her. She seems to sympathize for her mother even through her mother beats her because she doesn't want to judge her too harshly. She often takes on a passive aggressive language, not ever speaking badly of the people and places where she grew up, but implying it in her words. At the end of stories and chapters, she would sometimes speak as an adult from her new perspective. She criticizes the governments and people that were a part of her early life.
