This novel skips around between protagonists a lot. The first chapters are about the rich Periand family, then there is the story of the poor servants who work for a rich aristocratic family, then the story from the point of view of that family the servants just worked for, and so on and so forth. The story changes from person to person, however there are continuities in that everyone, rich or poor, is living in terror, evcauating Paris in a frenzy of emotion.
There are many different characters in the book, a new group of people in almost every chapter. It is a confusing writing style, but the novel is immensly interesting.
