The Great Divide

This was a beautifully written story about the lengths people will go to protect themselves, their family, and their culture in the face of colonialism. While I do believe this was very tame in the sense that no one REALLY got in trouble for their actions, it was still important to see such strong Cental American, Black, and Carribean people. It was really cool to see how so many character's independent lives intertwine to tell this story. The author did a great job making each character's voice extremely different, making the reading experience easier since it jumps around between them. She also did a great job with the setting, I have never been to Panema but the descriptions of the country were obviously written with such love and care for detail.
