What is the author's style in Women in Their Beds by Gina Berriault?

"Women in Their Beds" is narrated in the third-person—that is, from the point of view of someone who is not involved in the situation described. However, this narrator has a perspective very closely aligned with that of Angela Anson, the deeply absorbed protagonist. The narrator has complete access to and knowledge of Angela's inner thoughts and feelings, but not those of any of the other characters. Frequently, the narration switches from third-person description to Angela's interior monologue. The boundary between the narrator and Angela is very fluid, as is the boundary between Angela and the patients she encounters, and the effect is moody and introspective.
