Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (Central)
The entirety of Feathers is told from the perspective of Frannie—a sixth grader at an all-black school in a small town in the 1970s. By limiting the narration to a single character, the novel completely immerses readers into Frannie's world. We are transported to a particular time period, a specific community, and are even privy to all the emotions and thoughts of a young girl.
