Sum of Our Days Stockists

A brilliant memoir from the celebrated Chilean novelist on friends family and life in California her adopted home. Isabel Allende has sold more than 50 million copies of her books worldwide. The most beloved and successful of her books 'The House of the Spirits' was based on her Chilean childhood and her autobiographical works include the deeply moving 'Paula' - a family history written at the bedside of her daughter while she lay in a coma - and the fascinating 'My Invented Country' which explored the events of her native Chile where she lived until Pinochet's military coup. Now in 'The Sum of the Days' we have Isabel describe in an exceptionally vivid human and deeply personal way her life in California where she has lived for more than 25 years. The first page picks up from where Paula ends - her daughter never did wake up from her coma and died in 1992 - when Allende recounts spreading Paula's ashes in her favourite part of the woods by their home. It is fair to say that Isabel has never recovered from losing her daughter but has managed to survive by keeping her husband son grandchildren as well as close friends - kindred spirits - central to her life. 'The Sum of the Days' based on Allende's own journals and daily correspondence with her mother in Chile reveals the author to be a dazzling generous warm and hysterically funny matriarch within her swirl of family and friends.

"Okay, let's dive into the fascinating world of bargain UK supermarkets, because who doesn't love a savvy saving, right? We're talking the powerhouses like Aldi and Lidl, who've absolutely mastered the art of giving us incredible value for our weekly shop. But how do they manage it? It's all down to their incredibly efficient stockist strategies and how they engage with their suppliers. Rather than relying heavily on big, expensive brand names, these supermarkets often go directly to the source – the actual manufacturers and growers – essentially becoming their own primary Sum of Our Days stockists. You’d be genuinely surprised how many own-brand products, from delicious yoghurts to crunchy crisps and even some household staples, originate from the very same factories that supply the more 'premium' and pricier supermarkets; they just get packaged differently and sold at a fraction of the cost. So, whether it's a farm providing fresh produce or a factory churning out biscuits, these key suppliers are integral to the whole food chain, and the bargain chains are just super smart about leveraging those relationships to keep our trolleys full and our wallets happy!
