Sinossi
William Cavendish, the father of the first Earl, dissolved monasteries for Henry VIII. Bess, his second wife, was gaoler-companion to Mary Queen of Scots during her long imprisonment in England. Arbella Stuart, their granddaughter, was a heartbeat away from the throne of England and their grandson, the Lord General of the North, fought to save the crown for Charles I.
With the help of previously unpublished material from the Chatsworth archives, The Devonshires reveals how the dynasty made and lost fortunes, fought and fornicated, built great houses, patronised the arts and pioneered the railways, made great scientific discoveries, and, in the end, came to terms with changing times.

Recensione
"A vivid read, crowded with characters and colour" (Lucy Lethbridge Observer)
"Jostling with the eccentric and engaging characters from a grand family, Hattersley deftly tells a jaunty story about Britishness through the ages" (Kathryn Hughes Mail on Sunday)
"A seriously comfortable armchair, a magnificent old duffer of a book that deftly knits together a national story into the fabric of a family drama. It does this with all the warmth and affection for history that mark out a former statesman and a first-class storyteller" (Ian Kelly The Times)
"A balanced look at a traditional tale of aristocratic power and prestige" (Hallie Rubenhold BBC History Magazine)
"This jaunty magnificent book tells the history of Britain just as much as it does of one family" (Daily Express)
