The Wrong Family is written from a third person point of view. Though the chapters shift between Juno and Winnie's perspectives, the narrative remains in third, moving inside and depicting each woman's particular psychic and emotional experience. By maintaining the third person voice across the novel, the author creates a sense of cohesion to the narrative whole. The narrator, however, is not omniscient. Therefore, though she can access Juno and Winnie's thoughts and feelings, she does not regard or describe those of the other characters. In this way, the narrative belongs solely to the two protagonists.
