The point of view in the story is remarkable because it belongs to narrator who is both a character in the story and dead. Susie dies in the opening moments of the novel, and from then on the reader is privy to her memories and the thoughts and actions to all the people she watches. Susie is omnipresent, and she brings the reader from the past to the present.
