No Chapter in the Story

The book does not have any chapter or section. At the beginning, I do not know why and at least I do not think about why it does not have chapter or section. After I read the half part of the book, I know why there are no chapters in the book. In my opinion, there are two reasons for me to support my opinion which is you can not use part to definite life and this is Marguerite Donnadieu’s writing style.
First of all, Marguerite Donnadieu does not want to use “part” to describe her life. In many people’s life there are some important part, such as childhood, adulthood and old hood. However, in Donnadieu’s life every time are all very important. She has no childhood. At the beginning of the novel, she said “One day, I am a ready old, in the entrance of a public place a man came up to me”( Donnadieu 3). She is too young to get old. “ Very early in my life it was too late. I was already too late when I was eighteen. Between eighteen and twenty-five my face took off in a new direction. I grew old at eight”(Donnadieu 4). She has no teenager; even she is not young in her whole life. That is why she does not use chapter to write her life, because there is no chapter in her life. Her life is a story.
Secondly, does not use chapter to write story is the style in her writing life. Donnadieu like writing no time story. It is means in her story all the things are not only limit in one time. She does not like writing story in time order. At the beginning of the story, she writes the story at present and next page she will write narration interspersed with flashbacks. Maybe after that she flashback, she uses inverted order the story. Therefore, we can not simply to use chapter to limit her novel.
This is an amazing book. When I read some second resource, it always said that her novel is very difficult for readers to read. She is a “nature writer”( I named to her). She is just wants to talk about a story and does not think about what the order should be, so when you read her book, you will be very confusing. Therefore, if you want to make some section in her story, that is a difficult things. Now I understand why there are no section in her story.
