Win a Copy of "Unsheltered" by Barbara Kingsolver
About "Unsheltered"
"In her latest novel, Kingsolver uses a dual narrative to tell the stories of two families experiencing the world, with its unimaginably large changes and small worries, 150 years apart. These two narratives play off of each other masterfully, as the author proves that no matter how things change, somehow, they always stay the same.
Perhaps the best part of the story is Kingsolver’s lyrical prose and the way it makes the reader stop to appreciate the depth a few words can hold."

I’m not sure it counts but my favorite multiple narration book is 100 Years of Solitude. It spins so many stories together with common threads.
As for the sometimes irritating multiple narrative, my vote goes to Lee Smith for The Devil’s Dream. I love her voice and the down to earth passion her characters express, but I’m telling you- I lost count of just how many narratives there were. Countless.
I really enjoyed Fates and Furies by Lauren Goff, which tells the story from both perspectives of husband and wife, Lotto (Lancelot) and Mathilde during their 20+-year marriage . Sometimes you never really know a person, even one you’re married to…
