Books where the reader understands more than the narrator

[Liralen]

I'm looking for examples of books where the reader understands more than the narrator -- in Room, for example, the narrator is a child and misses a lot of the importance of the things going on around him, but the reader has a much clearer understanding.

Doesn't have to be a child narrator, but I'm looking for YA and adult books. Not looking for the sort of thing where the reader has some sort of crucial bit of information that the narrator doesn't have (e.g., 'the "other woman" is actually his sister!').

Thanks!

Update May 2017: No harm in noting other books that fit, but I'm all set on this search.

The Sound and Fury is the classic example of this

Thanks!

The Go-Between would probably fit. Adult book, 12 year old narrator.

Thanks, Lobstergirl.

Possibly What Maisie Knew - as I recall she is young and her parents are both having affairs...

[Liralen]

Thanks!

Roddy Doyle's Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - The reader understand quite a bit more than the child narrator, especially about his parents' failing marriage.

Christina, what a great title! Thanks.

I would include Pale Fire in that, although only at the end when everything comes together.

Gretel and the Dark is a good example of this and just an interesting book over-all.

The Sound and the Fury
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
for the previous suggestions.

The Last One might fit. The reader does know a crucial piece of information that the character does not, but because we know that, the things that we see through her eyes we understand more. Not sure if it's going to be exactly what you're looking for but I found it a very good book.

Thanks, all! I'm no longer looking for books in this vein, but I appreciate all the suggestions (and more never hurt in case others are looking).
