[OPLINLIST] Generational Book

[welchly at oplin.org]

Hi Cindy,

Fiction-L had a discussion about this technique a while back.
One of the suggested terms was "parallel plot lines" - here's
a link to a webpage describing it http://jonsay.com/?p=587

Another term was "flashbacks" such as those employed in
Suzanne Brockmann's THE UNSUNG HERO, where there is
one story line set in World War II featuring the current-day
protagonist's father and uncle.

Hope this helps ~

Here we go... I have a patron that wants to know the name of a
type/genre of book that switches from one generation to a future
generation and then proceeds to go back and forth in time. I know this
seems vague but she claims this type of writing has a name. HELP!
