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 Linen Keeper — The death chamber holds the close smell of blood and myrrh water. This is the kind of work that falls to certain women in every city and every age: the preparation of the dead, the closing of what has opened, the making of order where there has been pain. Miriam dips the cloth and wrings it carefully. What she is about to discover will ask her to choose between two forms of mercy, and there is no teacher who can make that choice for her.
