What is the narrator point of view in the novel, The Mothers?

There are two narrators in the novel: The Mothers and the omniscient narrator that covers the trio of Luke, Nadia, and Aubrey. The Mothers are a group of older woman who live in Oceanside and are part of the Upper Room Chapel congregation. These women are hawkish and provide a very subjective introduction to events in the beginning of each chapter, often commentating on the theme that is about to be explored. They derive their judgment from their years of experience of being black women in a world that disregards them, and they offer their opinion on every topic from abortion to romance. For the most part they serve as distant figures, but throughout the novel they make appearances, directly interacting with characters, especially Betty, who also serves to spread the rumor about Robert and John's fight.

The point of view then veers from the Mothers to an omniscient narrator that follows closely the thoughts and actions of the three main characters primarily: Luke, Nadia, and Aubrey. But the narrator also jumps to other characters at times, including Latrice Sheppard and Baby, the aborted child of Luke and Nadia. This omniscient, third-person narrator provides all the facts and emotions of the characters throughout, but manages to do so in an objective manner, not offering commentary on the plot and characters.
