At its most basic, then Martha is *literally* the Doctor's storyteller during The Year That Never Was.
But more than that, then this quote sums it up:
'Cause you know the Doctor, he's wonderful, he's brilliant, but he's like fire -- stand to close and people get burned.
Martha, like Marlow, has a dual view of the Doctor, and she, like Marlow, can't choose.
(It will appear in the meta, although not in great depth - if you want something deeper, I actually delved into the whole thing in this fic. Written before I read this book, but it deals very much with perceptions and lies and stories and dualities and how Martha (and Mickey) relates to the Doctor.)
