"Touching . . . Moving . . . [An] enjoyable new memoir . . . Compelling as a portrait of a vanishing world." —The Wall Street Journal
Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest in the famously witty brood that includes the writers Jessica and Nancy. Wait for Me! chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood roaming the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Adolf Hitler and her sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. "Charming, captivating and at times wickedly funny. Wait for me! [is] the refrain of young ‘Debo,' the baby of the family. Now 90, she has caught up beautifully" (Time).
