What is the author's style in July's People by Nadine Gordimer?

The novel is written in the third person and includes quotes broken up by hyphens without the normal identification of the speaker. Often times, the reader is left to determine who is speaking when confronted with the unidentified quotes.

The novel is divided into unnumbered Sections. Each section consists of events taking place during a short period of time in a settlement in a rural area of South Africa. The entire novel spans the course of three to four weeks.
