Super quick to read! I settled on 3 stars but it's probably more of a 3.5

This was a really nice story about the Latino immigrant community in Delaware with special focus one one family who has a child with traumatic brain injury.

This is the second book I've read recently about the immigrant experience and it is truly eye opening to see the struggles the face and the back stories that go with these people who so often are just nameless background pieces in our everyday lives.

This was so good! I love the writing style; there are so many amazing sentences I had to enjoy it. And it felt very real. I was very invested in it.

In The Great Divide, author Cristina Henriquez tries to capture all of the political and human drama surrounding the construction of the Panama Canal by exploring the lives of a variety of characters in and around the event. From local Panamanian Omar who participates in the actual drudgery of digging to an American doctor brought to battle malaria, Henriquez attempts to explore such a large number of people that at times their stories muddle. Solid writing and engaging narratives keep the book moving, and as the stories clarify, Henriquez manages to bring them all to a satisfying conclusion. Readers who enjoy historical fiction with a revolving cast of voices will not want to miss The Great Divide.… (plus d'informations)
