Opis

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICEDeborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of 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 her sister Unity and Adolf Hitler in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Written with intense warmth, charm, and perception, Wait for Me is a unique portrait of an age of tumult, splendor, and change. "Touching . . . moving . . . and] compelling as a portrait of a vanishing world" (The Wall Street Journal).
