You might try The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Each chapter is
narrated by a different daughter in the family. Other than the various
points of view, it probably doesn't have a lot in common with the book you

This sort of narrative device is sometimes called the "Rashomon
technique" or somesuch, and the movie RASHOMON (a famous example
of such) was based on a short story available here:

Author: Akutagawa, Ryúunosuke, 1892-1927.

Title: Rashomon : and other stories / Translated by Takasi Kojima ;
introd. by Howard Hibbet.

Published: Rutland, Vt. : C.E. Tuttle, 1952.

Description: 95 p. ; 19 cm.


A google search of "rashomon technique" brings up a lot of hits,
but mostly in irrelevant contexts (nonfiction, film, etc.).

I believe Lawrence Durrell's THE ALEXANDRIA QUARTET, which I've never
read, would qualify here. A fairly recent Peter Beagle fantasy, THE
INNKEEPER'S SONG, also works in this way. I think there's a lot of
other examples, none of which I can think of at the moment.

I've not read them, but I wonder if the topic is drifting a bit. There
are lots of novels whose storylines include multiple characters who
each tell part of the whole story (most disaster novels work this way,
for instance). I think/thought initial question was for books in which
multiple characters all tell supposedly the *same* story, but (because
of their different viewpoints and assumptions) interpret it or slant it
differently, so that the reader gets a feeling of the mutability of
what "really" happened. (The "Rashomon" effect, as I suggested earlier.)

But maybe I'm reading too much into word choice (and as I said, I've
not read Binchy).

Another example would be Laura, by Vera Caspary, on which the famous film
noir was based. In it, each chapter is told from a different character's
POV - which gets difficult, since one is the murderer.

Also, I finally read my first Tom Clancy book. ( I know - I'm a bit behind
