The majority of the text
alternates back and
forth between their two
narrative lines, often
describing the same
anecdotes so the reader
gets to experience them
from both perspectives –
a very enjoyable
literary device……… The
Author goes back and
forth between the voices
of his parents so that
the reader is drawn,
enchanted, into the
remarkable struggles and
dreams of these two
hardworking
untouchables. And then,
as we hear from their
educated, successful and
socially enfranchised
son and granddaughter we
recognize our own world,
the voice of our own
thoughts.
