The book is written in third person with a limited omniscient view. Though a slightly more open view would have been acceptable, only third person could have worked for this story. The people are in vastly different settings around the world and a more limited view simply would not have been adequate to tell this story. For example, while Victor and Rhoda are in Berlin, Madeline is in New York, Warren in Florida and Byron in Poland.
