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 Returning — Leif notices that the farm is smaller than he remembered, and then understands that this is wrong — he has grown, the farm has not changed. He has been away for fifteen years, gone to Greenland at seventeen and then west, and now in Iceland in 1000 AD he stands at the gate with the iron hinges his father hung when Leif was twelve. The debt he carries runs toward the dead, which is a direction you cannot send payment along.
