What is the author's style in the novel, War Brides?

Helen Bryan divides her novel War Brides into thirty-six consecutive, linear, and chronological chapters flanked by a prologue and an epilogue. Except for the prologue, which begins in 1995, the subsequent chapters and epilogue span the times from 1938 to 1995. The reader is able to see how the girls in the story develop, mature, and evolve against the backdrop of World War II. Given the number of characters, places, and subplots, the straightforward structure of the novel allows the reader to easily follow events as they unfold. The prologue provides an introduction of sorts, while the epilogue provides a closing to the novel by revealing that the Joseph twins did indeed survive thanks to the efforts of the five girls.
