The structure of the story is quite confusing. The story is forty-seven pages long with two different points of view. There are breaks between the points of views, but not during the breaks in time. The story is confusing to read since there are no clues as to what years and times the story is taking place and the reader must constantly check back to ensure that all the facts have been taken into consideration.

Another important fact to point out is that The Albanian Virgin is a story within a story, which adds to the confusion of the structure. Not only does the reader have to distinguish between the breaks in the story, but also it is necessary for the reader to keep in mind which story is being read; the story of the narrator or the story of Lottar and her excursion.
