📦 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 Island She Invented — Every evening while sorting the catch with her father, Thalia tells him about the island — a place she began describing two years ago to fill the silence, that has grown, week by week, into something with a harbor, a peculiar wind, and people whose customs she knows in detail. The story has become so specific that she has no way to know anymore whether she invented it or remembered it.
