Sins of the Mother is number 6 in paperback non-fiction bestseller list
06 Sep 2015
Congratulations to Irene Kelly and Katy Weitz whose Sins of the Mother is no 6 in this week’s paperback non-fiction list.
The book would be number 1 in the Sunday Times chart if they were running their normal weekly chart. But because the sales figures come through a day late after a bank holiday, they don’t get the information in time to meet their print deadline. So they run an out of date four week chart instead (it will be based on four weeks sales up to 22 August which is outside period book has been published).
