What is the structure of the novel, Anything is Possible?

The novel is divided into nine separate chapters, each of which can be read as a singular short story separate from the rest. Each of these chapters has a separate protagonist, and each of these chapters has a separate setting and time frame in which the actions take place. Although the individual chapters could be seen as separate, the way that characters interact with each other and reappear throughout the narrative creates a sense of continuity. By having a character reappear, or by having another character remember an event from an earlier chapter, Anything Is Possible demonstrates the way that small interactions have lasting impacts. Moreover, the way that the structure of the novel is both separate and continuous creates for the reader evidence of the way that lives interact in unexpected ways. The novel as a whole, then, reminds the reader of the windmills but Patty noticed: each of the individual chapters seem to rotate in their own individual orbit, and yet at certain times there is a simultaneity between chapters.
