The narrative is presented in strictly chronological order with each chapter's events occurring after the events in the previous chapter and before the events in the subsequent chapter. References to previous events occur with some frequency and characters occasionally think about future events. Such deviations from the principle timeline are minor and are easily identified. Thus, the novel's principle timeline is accessible and easily followed.
