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 Sound the Ice Makes — Gunnar Sigurdsson came to Iceland in the third ship of the settlement in 870, on an August morning when the sky was the blue that Iceland produces in summer, and the land was unlike Norway in ways he found difficult to describe to a man who had not seen it. The story follows the first winter — the sounds the ice makes, the costs of staying, and what a man learns about himself when the thing he came to find is not quite what he found.
