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 Chalice and the Comb — Anna has her grandfather's gift with numbers, and she has been running the household accounts since she was nine. Now, forty days after his death, the family gathers for the memorial feast — and Anna must arrange the altar alone, without the grandfather who always knew which side the chalice went on. Some things cannot be tallied.
