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 Common Fire — Keep it alive till morning. The whole village eats off that fire, and tonight the whole village will come and sit with it. The communal oven belongs to everyone and to no one, and on the night a great Auvergne storm comes down off the mountains, it is given to Léonie to keep — because her father, who usually tends it, has broken his arm.
