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 Winemaker's Daughter — Mathilde is seventeen and has been picking since first light, and her back aches, and she is perhaps a fifth of the way through the vineyard, and her father has been dead for six weeks and the grapes do not know this. The harvest in Burgundy in 1350 does not wait for grief, and Mathilde does not have the option of letting it wait — the question is only whether she can do the work alone, and at what cost.
