Murugan tells One Part Woman through a third person free indirect point of view. While the narration lives primarily behind Kali's consciousness for the majority of the novel's former half, the latter half cracks this pattern, allowing Ponna's perspective to penetrate and punctuate Kali's. By granting Ponna a share of the narrative point of view, the author is able to further explore the theme embodied in the novel's title.
