I read The Great Divide as an audiobook. It covers multiple POVs to give a holistic viewpoint of the Panama Canal. My favorite was Ada. I see the historical threads that Henriquez pulled to get her story together. I wished all of them did not have happy endings. I wanted more realism to shine through in the story.
