The importance of the research lies in the fact that it specializes in modern Saudi fiction literature, as it talks about the mechanisms of narration in the novel (People of the Sun) by Najwa Al-Omari. The study aims to clarify the mechanisms of narration in that novel, and then analyse and criticize these mechanisms. The study adopts the structural approach, which is concerned with the internal structures of the text of the aforementioned novel and the mechanisms of its narration, and how to employ it in the narrative space. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are: The novel is the mirror of society, and is based on storytelling that expresses the problems of society, and tries to find solutions to them. The novel of the people of the sun was written by its protagonists, Deem and Faisal, who tried to get out of the shackles of customs and traditions, break free from them, and overcome difficulties. We find the technique of time retrieval in abundance in the novel (People of the Sun), which came in the form of remembering past events, and the writer employed a group of places in her novel, which varied between closed and open, and had a role in the development and construction of events, and the writer used the smooth classical language far from ambiguity and complexity, and some sentences came from the Saudi colloquial language, influenced by its characters.
