Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres is a book with an ever-changing narrative structure. ...
The book starts (and in many later chapters including 25,64, and 72) in third person narration. ... I believe de Berniers used this format as it evokes great sympathy for the narrator/writer of the testament as sentences such as “I have not told a doctor. ... In my opinion this narrative is used as it not only fits neatly into the plot (letters would have been the only way Pelagia could have feasibly kept in contact with Mandras,) but it also helps the reader to get a one-sided insight into Pelagia’s emotions and see exactly how deeply her love for Mandras does run. ... Due to de Bernieres clever, shifting narratives many different individuals are presented to the reader, their thoughts and feelings are thoroughly examined and cross-examined, their opinions are expressed and then they are all linked up in the unravelling of the story.
