What is the author's style in Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston?

This story is told almost exclusively in first person. The point of view is almost exclusively that of the narrator, Jeanne Wakatsuki, whose life this story tells. Though this is the story of her life, it concentrates mostly on the three and a half years that changed her life the most, the years held in Manzanar as a Japanese-American internee. It also covers her teen years as she tries to re-integrate into the social world of high school and friends. The story is mostly about those years of childhood, as remembered by an adult, told over thirty years later.
