Narrative structure is a significant literary element which brings a text into an order and manner to delineate the story magnificently. The plot and setting of any work are organised by the narrative structure. This process has been evolved over generations. The fictional writing has changed from chronological sequence to nonlinear structure; stream of consciousness to memory accretion. The effect of the story is determined by the power of narrative structure. Sara Baume is an emerging and zealous writer of contemporary Irish literature. Her recent work A Line Made by Walking portrays the conflict ridden young woman Frankie who is struggling to cope with city life and searching for self in her grandmother’s bungalow which is located in the country side. This paper aims to recognize nonlinear narration and examine the possibilities of incorporating associative memory in narrative structure found in the novel A Line Made by Walking by Sara Baume.
