As Duchess of Devonshire, Debo played an active role in restoring & overseeing the day-to-day running of the family houses & gardens, & in developing commercial enterprises at Chatsworth. She tells poignantly of the deaths of three of her children, as well as her husband's battle with alcohol addiction. Wait For Me is enthralling & a total joy, full of the author's sympathetic wit (which she is not afraid to use on herself).
