The novel is written in third person with an omniscient narrator that, for the most part takes an unbiased approach in describing each character. At the beginning of each new season or month which the novel is divided by, the narrator gives the reader a bird's eye view insight of the current condition of each major character in the novel up to that point, wherever they may be spatially and regardless of how far they are from one another.
