Media Reviews
'A touching, funny memorial to a vanished age' * Stephen Moss, Guardian *
'I was captivated . . . unputdownable' * Bel Mooney, Daily Mail *
'The Duchess is an exhilarating writer, with a great gift for storytelling, and a prose style of elegant simplicity' * Jane Shilling, Evening Standard *
'Wait For Me! proves irresistible, even for die-hard Mitphobes like me' * Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday *
'Funny and sad, the irresistible combination that is one of the secrets of charm' * Daily Telegraph *
'She [Debo] is in possession of what I can only describe as a uniquely Mitford-esque sensibility; loving but unsentimental; devoid of self-pity; unwilling to bore others with her own travails; able to find the ridiculous in almost anything . . . these qualities - disarmingly rare in Oprahworld - are , to me, indisputably admirable' * Observer *
'An entertaining, lively portrait' * Scotsman *
'The one book this year that everyone will want in their Christmas stocking' * A. N. Wilson, Spectator *
'Admirably done, cannily blending disclosure and reticence in a charming book that kept me riveted, both by what is said . . . and what remains firmly under wraps' * Daily Telegraph Biographies of the Year *
'I cried several times during Deborah Devonshire's memoir . . . the calibre of events, cast and author could hardly be higher and Debo has potted an extraordinary life (though ordinary to her) with kindness and humour' * Rachel Johnson, Observer Christmas special *
'[Debo] is a glorious testament to the fact that we should never retire early in case our brains atrophy. It's stuffed full of wonderful people, and Debo has a great ear for the killer, defining quote . . . Just reading this book made me hare off to visit Chatsworth . . . The best books make you see the world differently and maybe want to change yours. We will not see her like again' * Liz Jones, Daily Mail Christmas books special *
'Talk about a life lived in full . . . Her memoirs, Wait for Me! are as fascinating and entertaining a portrait of the last century as you could hope to read' * Sandra Parsons, Daily Mail Christmas books special *
'Deborah Devonshire has had an astonishing life and her memoirs are peopled by a cast of characters that includes Winston Churchill, the Queen, John F. Kennedy, Lucian Freud and Elivs Presley . . . She's also unusually frank about her late husband's alcoholism. Yet while there's a lot of sadness in this book, there's no self-pity. Instead, you get the impressions that, at 90, Deborah Devonshire's zest for life, gossip and mischief is as strong as ever' * John Preston, Daily Mail Christmas books special *

'Fans will know the story but the duchess's prose is so lively her telling is pure pleasure. I thought all the Mitford books had been written. How wrong I was' * Independent *
'Delightful Debo, the youngest Mitford sister, reminisces with trademark mischief and her killer instinct for a good anecdote' * The Times *
'An unqualified delight: effortlessly funny and at times moving, clear-sighted, candid and self-effacing, written from the perspective of a long life well-lived' * Good Book Guide *
