Several points of view are employed by Joan Didion in this novel. The first chapter is told from Maria's first-person point of view. The second chapter is told from Helene's first-person point of view. The third chapter is told from Carter's first-person point of view. Beginning the novel with these three distinct first-person voices immediately draws the reader into the conflict, into the different thoughts of the three main characters.
