The novel has two narrators: Lowen and Verity. When Lowen is the narrator, she narrates in the first person and the present tense. Lowen is mostly portrayed as an everyday, relatable character, allowing the reader to imagine themselves in Lowen’s position as she struggles with increasingly disturbing ideas and challenges.

When Verity is the narrator, her narration is contained within her secret memoir, and then within the letter that Lowen finds. Verity’s narration is written in the first person and the past tense.
