Hi Nola - Thank you for this interesting post. I recently read The Trowenna Sea by Witi Ihimaera (of 'The Whale Rider' fame). It has four first person perspectives. these are outlined in the contents which makes it very clear. Each person's story overlaps and we discover different things about the same events from each. It's set in Africa, New Zealand and Tasmania and, I think, is done really well.

Hi Cindy - Thanks for that example. I haven't come across that book, so I'll have to check it out. It would be interesting to see the perspectives of the different people. I haven't read Whale Rider, but I saw the movie and really liked it. Thanks for stopping by to comment :)
