The great divide [large print] : a novel / Cristina HenrÃquez.
"It is said that the Panama Canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection. Ada Bunting arrives in Panama as a stowaway, determined to earn enough money for her sister's surgery back in Barbados. When an American malaria researcher named John Oswald witnesses Ada performing an act of selfless bravery, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver for his ailing wife. This fateful decision sets in motion a tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice. Searing and empathetic, The Great Divide explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers--those rarely achknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.-- Back cover.
