The World in Half follows Miraflores, a young woman living in Chicago who discovers that the father she has never known may still be alive in Panama. Determined to uncover the truth about her family’s past, she travels to the country her mother left behind, hoping to understand her own identity and the circumstances surrounding her parents’ relationship. As she explores Panama, Miraflores encounters unfamiliar landscapes, complicated family histories, and unexpected connections that challenge her assumptions about where she belongs. Through her journey, Cristina Henríquez examines the immigrant experience, cultural belonging, and the ways family secrets shape personal identity. The novel explores the emotional distance between generations and the search for a place to call home.
