Type of narration

The type of narration is not common, because it is nor 1^st neither 3^d person narration. The author describes events with the help of plural pronoun "we" (So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated...", "We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will.").  Such type of narration describe events from the peoples’ point of view and makes the reader involved into the story’s events and characters’ feelings. The narrator doesn’t criticize or condemn her actions, that’s why we can say that he is sympathetic to her.
