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.
What the Hands Know — Inês has been catching babies beside her grandmother since she was nine years old, in a Brazilian mining town where the two women have brought most of the living people of their quarter into the world. Her grandmother told her there would come a birth her head could not solve — a night when she would have to stop thinking and let her hands remember. Inês had not believed there was such a night, until she is in it.
