Stories with different perspectives? (1 Viewer)

[dotcomgirl]

Can anyone recommend stories that are told though a variety of different character's perspective? Basically, stories that explore perspective and different views on one topic/event/character etc.

Preferably books that are targeted at a young adult or adult audience.

Thanks.

I'm reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown atm, and the same event is told from different perspectives - (Langdon, Vittoria etc).

i guess you could say almost any of jodi picoult books, they do shift in not only perspective but time in some of her novels

LOL

have you read Dracula? You'll love it, its told as a collection of different pieces of "evidence", newspaper cuttings, diary entries, letters, scientific studies, etc. Its actually eerily effective

If you're desperate pick up a romance novel lol, conflicts/misunderstanding between the hero and heroine are the definition of this genre.

As I Lay Dying.

Mr Faulkner seems to dig writing like this, so basically anything by him.

I've been told that The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell does this in a really interesting way (you can find the whole quartet within one book in the stores I believe).

what about The Lovley Bones, By Alice Sebold?
does that show changing perspectives?
Cheers

we did cry the beloved country for perspectives last year, but i wouldnt recommend it to read. The first section of Atonement could work though
