Finally-you're my friend. And it's in writing!!!!

 

Robin, THANK YOU but I figured it out. I did not realize that after installing the required files, I had to go down, enter my name & email and proceed from there. It was a little confusing but I got it! THANK YOU!

I can't seem to find a way of replying to your comment, but yes, absolutely please do...  Rx

Thank you, Robin! I love serendipity ;-) It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you yesterday; thanks again!

Sorry for delay Robin.. I never saw there were comments about this. Actually it's the Lincoln Lawyer series...should be out soon... just handed in masters.

Hi Robin, yes indeed I was referring to the current Duchess of Devonshire, who was the youngest of the Mitford sisters, and is now 90 years old.
Narrating "Wait For Me" was engaging on every level imaginable.
The memoir unfolds in a fairly chronological way, and the sense of humour, balance and down to earthness of the author is at the fore throughout. It is full of insights and perspective, of times gone by and the present day.
The Kennedy's figure quite prominently as the duchess's husband, Andrew Cavendish's older brother was married to Kathleen Kennedy.
I have to say I was very moved by this book and find myself thinking about aspects of her life on a daily basis. It worked for me on all levels, and includes her remembrances of tea with Hitler, miscarriages, insights about her sister's, her love of Elvis etc.
It reads just as if you are having afternoon tea with a wise, funny dear longtime friend.
