This Review Summarizes it well:
THE GREAT DIVIDE is a smart, moving, and wonderful novel. And while the title ostensibly refers to the Panama Canal, the real divide -- and this is the brilliance of Cristina Henriquez -- is between the Americans who want to build the canal and the people who are supposed to carve a passage through the isthmus. With meticulous care, Henriquez brings her characters to life, and reminds us of the human cost of the massive construction project.10 attendees
