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 Well — Petros Karas has been digging the well for three weeks — twelve feet down, the soil changing from dry upper clay to the darker, damper material that tells a man he is close — when Constantinople falls on the twenty-ninth of May, 1453. The owner of the house is dead. The city has changed hands. The well is twelve feet deep and unfinished, and Petros must decide whether to finish it.
