Join the Booklovers Book Group at Gulf Beaches Public Library on Tuesday, September 15 at 10:30 AM as we gather to discuss The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez.

Set against the construction of the Panama Canal, this sweeping work of historical fiction explores the lives of the people who built, lived alongside, and were forever changed by one of the world’s most ambitious engineering projects. Through interconnected characters from Panama, Barbados, and the United States, Henríquez explores family, sacrifice, ambition, displacement, and the often-overlooked human stories behind history.

Whether you love historical fiction, book clubs, literary fiction, or thought-provoking novels, we’d love to have you join the conversation at Gulf Beaches Public Library in Madeira Beach, Florida.
