I forgot!

to post earlier! I was out of town and was too swept up in it to remember my homework! My apologies. I also am not quite sure what I am supposed to write about... I guess about the book I am reading but since the others in my group aren't reading the same book as me I guess I will use this time to talk about what has happened thus far in my book.
I am about 100 pages into my book and still pretty confused about what is going on. The basic premise of the book is that there is a man (Joe) and woman (Violet), they have been marries for a long time and in the last few months Joe has strayed away from his wife and was sleeping with a younger woman (Dorcas). Joe recently murdered Dorcas because he knew they could never have a life together and the love for her hurt too much. As you may guess violet was not too thrilled about this and after her death became somewhat obsessed with the woman his husband liked better than her. Violet doesn't seem to harbor any hard feelings or fear towards her husband which I think is weird. In the part I am reading right now Violet is befriending the diseased aunt who she was raised by.
Basically I am confused because they keep switching back from future to present tense with no distinction between them and also have no idea who is narrating. I hope it clears up soon...
