To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
Mortification of Envy — The furnace room has belonged to the Trevisan family in the way furnace rooms have belonged to Murano families for two hundred years: the heat is theirs, the guild seal is theirs, the particular orange of their glass recognized from Venice to Constantinople. Caterina has grown up understanding this the way she understands the shape of her own hands. What she has not understood, until this season, is how much she has been counting on it being otherwise.
