There are four different narrators:
Hortense Joseph (maiden name: Roberts)
Gilbert Joseph
Victoria "Queenie" Bligh (maiden name: Buxton)
Bernard Bligh

Sometimes, the first-person narration changes with every chapter, sometimes one narrator recounts their childhood or experiences during the war for up to five chapters in a row.
