What do people think about changing POV in a novel?
My idea is to have the very start and very end of the story in first person, but the guts of the novel in third person.
The start (first person) is a woman in a police station, with no clue how she got there. The middle (third person) is two weeks earlier, telling the story of how she got there and the end (back to first person) shows how things are resolved.
I can't think of anything I've read that has used this technique, though I'm sure it's been done. But does it work?
All thoughts welcome
