16. A book told from multiple perspectives

I'm reading Salt to the Sea. I don't usually like the multiple perspectives writing style but it works for this book.
I read Thomas Hardy's first literary success Far From the Madding Crowd for this category. Yes, I enjoy novels with multiple perspectives. In this classic, Hardy uses the narrator to gently guide the reader as he shifts the story between Bathsheba and Gabriel's perspective. It's really well done here.
