The perspective varies from one story to another in the book, with most of the stories presented with a limited perspective. The majority of the stories are written in third person. Many are presented from the perspective of a particular character. For example, "To Room Nineteen" is the story of a woman named Susan who finds herself in a loveless marriage though she has four healthy children and a large house - a situation envied by many. Despite the positive points, she is depressed and desperate.
