The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire was brought up in Oxfordshire. In 1950 her husband Andrew, the 11th Duke of Devonshire, inherited estates in Yorkshire and Ireland, as well as Chatsworth, the family seat in Derbyshire, and Deborah became chatelaine and housekeeper of one of England's greatest and best-loved houses. Following her husband's death in 2004, she moved to a village on the Chatsworth estate. She died in 2014.
Paperback edition of the bestselling autobiography of Deborah Devonshire, the youngest of the 6 Mitford sisters. Tells the story of her upbringing, her siblings, and their politics, finally setting the record straight. Also brilliantly evokes the countryside and her deep attachment to those who live and work in it.
At the age of ninety, Debo (as she is known to all her friends) looks back on a life lived at a cracking pace.
