: Re: Tackling backstory while writing multiple POVs I am trying to write from multiple points of views with my first fiction book. I need to handle backstory (part of the overall plot) where all

I would take a look at the book "Holes" which handles several different events in the timeline of about 200 years near simultaneously. One of the major themes of the book is that these stories are all interconnected in multiple ways. You have the story of the hero's present situation, the story of how he got into the present situation, the story of why his Great Great Grandfather decided to come to America, and the story of a schoolhouse teacher who used to live in the same location the hero's story is set. The backstory is is told concurrently with the present story and the Grandfather story and later is subbed for a perspective shifted view of the Backstory and the Teacher's story.
