What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Of Women and Salt?

Of Women and Salt is characterized by its diverse perspectives, spanning across time and geographical location. The reader hears from a range of characters’ perspectives, including María Isabel, Dolores, Carmen, Jeanette, Maydelis, Gloria and Ana. The most commonly revisited narratives are those of Carmen and Jeanette, whose strained relationship and personal struggles serve as a continually underlying theme throughout the novel.

Most of the novel is written in third person limited, affording a narrow telling of the characters' stories which are largely unaffected by outside events. Occasionally, however, Garcia interrupts with first person perspective. For example, the Preface and Chapter 5 are written from the perspective of Carmen and Gloria respectively, which allows these characters to address their daughters in an extremely personal and vulnerable manner.
