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 Silence After — Edouard Marchal is in the lower field with a spade when the guns stop on the eleventh of November, 1918 — not a gradual diminishing but a stopping, the way a clock stops. The field is the same field. The ground is the same ground. He stands in the ditch and tries to understand what to do next, in a silence that is the same silence that will have to become his whole life.
