I don‘t know what it is with me & books these days but I‘m having a hard time finding ones to connect with. Case in point, this story about the digging of the Panama Canal & the people involved, one way or another, tackles an interesting & needless to say important moment in history. And yet, the multiply storylines didn‘t coalesce the way I hoped & things felt rushed making it difficult to connect with the characters. Just an ok read for me.
