Waiting For Tomorrow
What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Waiting For Tomorrow?
.
.
The novel is primarily narrated in the third person by an omniscient (all knowing) narrator. The notable exception to the third person point of view can be found in the chapter, The Melody of Adéle. To emphasize this chapter’s difference from the rest of the novel, it is even presented in a different font from the rest of the book. Also unlike other chapters in the novel, this chapter is a found object that also appears in the book: it is the story of Adéle’s life, but written down by Anita. Specifically: Anita writes this manuscript in first-person, as if she were Adéle. Accordingly, even though the chapter is about Adéle’s life, many of the passages in it are in truth about Anita, as she imagines her role within Adéle’s life.
