What is the author's style in the story, A Nurse’s Story?

“A Nurse’s Story” is structured as a series of episodes that move fluidly across the history of Mary McDonald’s life. Although each episode can stand alone as a component of the story, it is more important to see them as interdependent units, with each memory shaping the one that came before and after. Characters appear and reappear in new contexts, as connections between the various aspects of Mary’s life reveal themselves, allowing patterns to form and reform as the story unfolds. Reading Baida’s story is like living a life, an exercise that involves both a rethinking of each experience gained over the years and a rereading of the entire story with the maturity that comes over time.
