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.

A DESERVED 5-STAR DOG TOY!
Color: Regular color
WOW! It’s rare that I ever give 5-stars, but here we are! My hound dog officially turned 1 a few days ago and this was one of her presents. Being an “aggressive chewer” is an understatement, and she’s officially met her match. These rope toys are beyond tough and sturdy, but made well for chewing without being dangerous. She has so much fun swinging them around, playing tug-o-war, and just lying down giving them her playful attention. It’s fun hearing her growl as she tries her best to show the rope who’s boss. If you’ve got a medium-to-large sized pup that loves to play, let ‘em know they’re a good girl/boy with these extremely durable and affordable rope toys!

good throw toy
Color: Regular color
My dog really likes this toy, but be aware that when they start to tug, it comes apart you will need to pick up the strings so they do not swallow them

Dog Rope Toy
Color: Regular color
These dog rope toys are a great value, especially since several come in one pack. My dog is a black Labrador and a very aggressive chewer, so she goes through toys quickly. Each rope typically lasts her a few weeks to a month, which is impressive given how strong her bite is. She absolutely loves these and plays with them constantly. The ropes do eventually come apart, and once the braid starts to unravel, I make sure to throw them out to prevent her from swallowing any strands. That said, these toys are very effective at keeping her busy and away from chewing household items like pillows or sofa cushions—which is a much cheaper alternative! Overall, these are durable, affordable, and entertaining toys for strong chewers, as long as you supervise your dog during playtime.

Cane Corso Approved (Eventually Destroyed)
Color: Regular color
I bought the Forfon Tough & Strong Dog Toy for Aggressive Chewers for my Cane Corsos — and if you know Corsos, you know they don’t “chew.” They conduct demolition projects. First impression? Solid. Thick material, strong stitching, felt durable in hand. I actually had hope. Dangerous, I know. For about two weeks, this toy held its own. Tug sessions? Survived. Full jaw clamp tests? Passed. Backyard wrestling matches? Still standing. Then… week three happened. Let’s just say my dogs eventually discovered its weakness and turned it into modern art. But honestly? For aggressive chewers of this size and strength, lasting two weeks is basically a gold medal performance. Pros: ✔ Truly tougher than most toys we’ve tried ✔ Kept my dogs entertained ✔ Withstood serious chewing pressure Cons: • Not indestructible (especially against Cane Corso-level jaws) • Eventually surrendered to persistence If you have medium to strong chewers, this will probably last a long time. If you have giant, determined jaw athletes like mine, expect a respectable lifespan — not immortality. 4 stars because nothing survives forever in this house… but this one fought bravely. 🐶💪
