📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
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.
The Ambition She Is Embarrassed By — Mei Lin has been weaving beside her father since she was seven. The cloth their family makes is sturdy and serviceable — her father is respected for exactly this. The wanting that arrived last season is too large for where she is, and Mei Lin knows it, and cannot make herself stop wanting. The story is about what she does with an ambition she cannot justify and cannot set down.
