Most of the novel uses a diary-like language, cataloging the adventures of the main characters, either in the past or the present. The author follows the treks of Laruelle, Yvonne and Hugh. The language offers rich descriptions of their travels. It also includes detailed dialogue between the main characters, as well as conversations with locals that they encounter.
