The author starts the story from the end of the story and works her way to the beginning instead of starting from the beginning of the story. Often the reader shares a flashback with a character that is not shared with any other character. The narrator also provides information in different parts of the story reflecting what is going on during the plot. The narrator of The Notebook in the beginning and in the ending of the chapters is Noah. But the author did not inform the readers until the end of the story that it was Noah telling the story. This perspective allows the reader to think of only the two main characters Allie and Noah. This technique is important because it allows the storyline to flow from past to present and back again multiple times.
The narrator techniques work well because The Notebook is not just a love story; the novel also explores the nature of fate and free will and the way people interact with one another. The emotional state of the story was the strongest, do not give up on the person you love because they are not the same they were 20 years
