First People Narration?

[fallenangelwriter]

Could someone recommend a good book or books that uses multiple first-person narrators, or give tips on the narrative style? I know it's pretty rare, but I was experimenting with a story, and wanted to give it a try...

"My Sister's Keeper," by Jodi Picoult uses multiple first person narrators.

Two of my favorites are The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (husband and wife narrators) and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (narrated by a woman and her four daughters)

I've also read The Long Way Down by Nick Hornby (four narrators who meet when they decide to kill themselves), which didn't thrill me, and Bleed by Laurie Stolarz (YA, ten narrators with different interconnected stories) which annoyed me because it was uncomfortably similar to my own WIP.

Seems like I read a similar thread not too long ago. Try here (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65296) for some more suggestions.

East, by Edith Pattou is a YA book with multiple first person narrators. It's an interpretation of the fairy tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

Two of my favorites are The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (husband and wife narrators)One of my favorites too.

Another one I recommend is The History of Love by Nicole Krauss (young girl and old man narrators). Interesting to see the flip side and thinking of youth and elder.
