Event Details

Please note: this is a Zoom watch party at the library; presenter is presenting remotely on Zoom.

Join critically acclaimed, bestselling author, Cristina Henríquez, for a compelling conversation about her work. This includes her newest book, The Great Divide, which is a moving exploration of the people who lived, loved, and labored during the construction of the Panama Canal. It was named a New York Times’ Editors’ Choice selection and TIME Magazine “100 Must-Read Books of 2024". 

This event is intended for adults and made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP), a statewide collaboration
among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
