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 Thing She Most Wants to Do — There is a woman in the northern quarter who beats copper into bowls, and Khadija has been watching her for three years — not always, not openly, but finding reasons to slow when she walks past the metalworker's compound with her mother's samples. The woman's name is Safi. She works in the early morning before the heat comes. Khadija has never spoken to her. She is about to.
