34 - A Book with at Least 3 POVs

[Stina]

I read Notes on an Execution.

[Craig Gorvin]

I read Hyperion by Dan Simmons for this prompt.

[*. tina ｡⋆୨୧˚]

Currently reading A Torch Against the Night, the 2nd of the An Ember in the Ashes series, and it has 3 POVs.

[Sim1]

Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino

[Kristy]

“The Girl With All The Gifts” - it has at least 5 POVs. Personally I would have liked it more if it only had 2.

[Aquaria]

Anthony Doerr – Cloud Cuckoo Land

[Trish]

I went with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. While most of it is told from Oskar's point of view, there are multiple chapters also from his Grandma and Grandpa.

[Ron]

Still can't figure this one out, especially since I'm looking for nonfiction.

[Alesha]

The Dark One (book 2) by Nikki St. Crowe: 3-5 POVS.

[Amy]

I'm using A slow fire burning by Paula Hawkins.

Let me know how you like it. I loved everything by Paula Hawkins, including that one.

[Renee]

What does POV mean? Thank you.\

[Meghana]

I’m using The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell which consists of the multiple contestants’ POVs and one for Betsy.

Point of view.

[Renee]

what do you look for to get 3 pov?

Chapters will often begin with a character's name on top. If you see chapters beginning Karen/Trevor/Linda you are most likely getting the narrative from those three characters' perspective (point of view).

[Brandon]

Look for books with ensemble casts and outside the YA sphere, and you should easily find a book with at least three POV characters.

Princess of Dune is one that I am reading right now that has different chapters devoted to different characters (Chani, Irulan, the Navigator representative, etc.).

[Renee]

thank you

[Frogli]

This should be a fairly easy one for fantasy readers, a couple I read this year are

Godkiller
Fevered Star (book 1 in the trilogy Black Sun would also qualify)

Might be a slight stretch but I read The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder and the author does pull together the versions of the events from the Captain and at least a couple of the other crew members/mutineers

[LeahS]

Ron, you might also try The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper. Uncheerful, but very good. It has chapters dealing with each of the victims, so although again it's a bit of stretch it is five different characters involved in the same series of events.

[LeahS]

Just thinking - another option would be to find an edited book on a subject, where each chapter or section is by a different expert.

[Ron]

I appreciate the help every one. I'm sure I can make things work. And The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder seems like a good way to go.

I'm kind of hoping this one will be released in paperback this year.

[Khalena Tate]

I read She Started It for this one! It cycles through the POVs of all the girls in a friend group on vacation(ish).

[Denise]

I finished There There by Tommy Orange. As pointed out above, it can also be used for a neurodivergent character (Fetal Alcohol), and was recommended at my go to indie bookstore (#14) and at the library (#15).

[Alyssa]

The Three of Us by Ore Agbaje-Williams

[The Pampered Librarian]

"The Teacher" by Frieda McFadden has 3 POV's although the third one doesn't appear until later in the book.

[Chrissy]

The Bee Sting and Monstrilio we’re both just in the Tournament of Books, and I loved both of them. Four POVs each!

[Robin H-R]

I read:
Black Potatoes: The Story of the Great Irish Famine, 1845–1850 by Susan Campbell Bartoletti

[Michele]

Game by Barry Lyga

[Laura Ruth]

I see I'm one of many who chose There There by Tommy Orange. It not only has a lot of POV characters, it switches from first to third person - and occasionally second - sometimes for the same character.

Other options: any of the "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" books, Cloud Atlas and most other books by David Mitchell. If you prefer SF, anything by CJ Cherryh.

[Dubhease]

I read One of Us Is Back which had 3 major PVs and 2 minor ones
