A breathtaking historical novel following the incredible construction of the Panama Canal and casting light on the unsung people who lived and laboured in its shadow – by acclaimed author Cristina Henríquez.

It is said that the Canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built.

Ada Bunting, a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados, arrives alone in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work in the grand building project of the Canal. Francisco, a local fisherman, resents the foreign nations clamouring for a slice of his country, but nothing is more upsetting for him than his son Omar’s decision to work as a digger. For Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection and independence. Scientist John Oswald has come from further afield. He has journeyed to Panama in pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But everything hangs in the balance as his wife Marian falls ill herself.

When John witnesses an act of bravery and compassion from Ada one day, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver for his wife. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Breathtaking and impossible to put down, The Great Divide explores the lives of the labourers, fishmongers, journalists, protesters, doctors and soothsayers who lived alongside the construction of the Canal – those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.

Great pillow that helped relieve my neck pain!
This is probably one of the best, if not the best pillow I have ever used. I have periodically had a stiff neck in the mornings and the past 2 months it was constant. I got these pillows about a week ago and the first night that I tried it, my stiff neck was significantly less in the morning. I tried it for another 4 days and each day my neck felt better. I then visited my sister and used the pillow they had and the next morning my neck had pain again. The following night when I was back home, I used this pillow again and in the morning my neck pain was gone. I was completely surprised that this pillow worked for me, as I have tried many other pillows over the years. My wife, who also has neck pains, said that this pillow also helped her. The retail price is on the expensive side, but to me it is worth it. It comes with 2 queen size pillows that easily fit queen size pillow cases. It also comes with its own zippered cover that is made of a very soft microfiber type of material. The pillows are made of memory foam with portions of it more firm than others so that it can support your neck and head correctly. Depending on how you sleep, the pillow can be flipped or turned to match your sleeping style. I tend to sleep on my back and use the side that cradles your head. It is indicated by the blue portion of the pillow that I show in the pictures. The part that supports my neck is a little stiffer than where my head rests. Not sure if this works for everyone, but for me it is the best pillow I have ever tried, without a doubt!
