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 Storm Off Shetland — Sigrid has been standing on the cliff since the storm turned — watching the sea where her husband Ulf's ship went south that morning, the ship he built across two winters in the field behind the house. The storm was not there that morning. In Norse Shetland in 870 AD, a woman on a cliff after a storm has already done the calculation; the story is about what she does next.
