With the exception of the penultimate chapter, which is told in the first-person perspective of the novel’s protagonist, Phephelaphi, the novel is mostly told in the third-person past tense. This third-person perspective is varied yet limited to the novel’s main characters. Mostly the narrator inhabits either the perspective of Phephelaphi or of Fumbatha, showing each characters’ dreams, hopes, and aspirations.
