The youngest of the famous Mitford sisters, known as Debo, married Andrew Cavendish, has lived 90 years through all kinds of legendary events and known a who’s who of people. She tells her story with grace and humor. Some stories that were new to me in this memoir added to what I’ve read about her and her sisters through the years. Her world is fascinating to me.
