My Son

by Francis J.D. Hyland

"My Son" is a tale of a British boy, born and raised in Ghana, and his search for the freedom he believes he has now lost as an adult. As he loses his way along the path of life, he fights with the anger he feels inside towards his parents for taking him away from the utopian existance in which he was raised. As his own son grows, he begins to realize that the freedom had always been there, that he had wasted a great portion of his life in the pursuit of the treasure that he had been unable to see was right in front of him.

Although it was interesting, I found it difficult to follow at times as it changed characters and locations so often. What do you call this style of writing?
