| Summary |
"When former fashion model Kay Summersby is assigned to drive General Eisenhower in war-time London, they quickly become involved -- in spite of Ike's marriage to Mamie and Kay's engagement to an American colonel. Kay and Ike struggle to keep their commitments but are increasingly and irresistably drawn to one another. Then Kay's financ©♭ is killed and Ike, facing the most challenging battles of the war, makes her his closest aide, confidante, and lover. Back home in Washington, D.C., Mamie is fighting her own fierce battles: bitter jealousy, health problems, and a phobic dread of gossip. Ike's letters are only tepidly reassuring; Mamie knows he is involved with another woman and fears that her marriage is lost. Ike's celebrity at war's end brings new battles for all three." -- From publisher's description. |
