Panama

The World in Half
by Cristina Henriquez

In this romantic story, Miraflores, who has never known her father Gatún, decides to go on a search for him. She heads to Panama, where he had worked on the canal, on a search that is far from straightforward, revealing historic, scientific and geographical detail along the way, as she gradually becomes more deeply involved with her guide.
