The book is written in third person from a semi-omniscient point of view. The majority of the novel is written from Madelyne's point of view, Duncan's point of view, or both, though there are occasional lapses to other characters. It's vital to have that complete look for the full understanding of the story line.

The book is adequately divided between exposition and quotations. Both exposition and quotations contain a few words that are likely specific to the time and the region.

The book is divided into twenty-four chapters of greatly varying lengths. Each is numbered only with no chapter titles. Each chapter is preceded by a quotation from several sources. Many of them are Biblical, coming from both the Old and New Testaments. These quotations provide foreshadowing of what's to come in that particular chapter.
