THE GREAT DIVIDE (book Club)THE GREAT DIVIDE (book Club)

"In 1907, construction of the Panama Canal is underway. Sixteen-year-old Ada Bunting is one of thousands who flock to the isthmus seeking work. When she sees a young man collapse after a grueling shift, she rushes to his aid, setting in motion a powerful tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice. Searing and empathetic, The Great Divide places a remarkable cast of characters at the heart of an endeavor that transformed the world, illuminating the stories of those rarely acknowledged by history even as tehy carved out its course."
