Fascinating with the POV, Lausanne. Complex to say the least. Not sure if this totally adheres to your requirement but have you read Elif Shafak’s There Are Rivers in the Sky yet? It may fall into what you are looking for. Best of luck!

Oh my, that sounds complex - the description reminds me somewhat of the multiple timelines of Cloud Cuckoo Land. I've just added it to my TBR! Thanks!

Oh yes! Cuckoo Land Was similar, but Shafak’s is more direct, less layers, plus her melodious voice.

I really like books written in letters and other no-traditional forms. Frankenstein is of course a totally different idea and genre, but I think its letters and design help make it much more than a typical horror story. I am interested in both of the books you describe here, but Silence really has be curious. Thanks

Silence is unique and was quite intense reading for me. I'm sure a lot depends on the reader. I'd be interested to know your response.

I really want to read Silence now. I'm moving it way up on my TBR list. I want to know what happened to Cristovao!

It's pretty intense. Not run-of-the-mill, for certain.

My book 4 (currently in progress) is turning out that way. The main protagonist, whose POV featured heavily in the first three books has … faded into the background. What do you do when your primary source stops writing?

Ah, so a secondary character has taken over? Is he observing the first character? Or has he completely stolen the show?

The first character is getting observed by the characters around her, to varying degrees. Tow new romances are taking up more of the pages. I hated putting her into the background, but endlessly campaigning and writing petitions is boring. Although … I could do at least one derring-do scene. Hmm…

Those crazy characters. You just never know.
