For the second chapter of BATTERSEA, we move to the novel's second point of view and second main plot arc. Susanna chose two points of view -- her first time doing this in a novel -- without committing to a strict ABABAB structure. 

-- What are the pros and cons of using two points of view? 

-- Do they need to be balanced or equivalent to each other? 

-- What are some ways to jump between POVs without jarring the reader from her vivid and continuous dream?

Also, using a second point of view means starting the book for the second time, and the second beginning is held to the same standards as the first. 

-- Which beginning has more thrust? 

-- Which one is more engaging, and why?
