Acclaimed author and managing director of The Times Literary
Supplement, James MacManus, creates a compelling historical novel
that brings to life an unbelievable but true love story set during
the Second World War. In 1942, Cork-born Kay Summersby's life is
changed forever when she is tasked with driving General Eisenhower
on his fact-finding visit to wartime London. Despite Eisenhower's
marriage to Mamie, the pair takes an immediate liking to one
another and he gifts Kay a rare wartime luxury: a box of
chocolates. So begins a tumultuous relationship that against all
military regulation sees Kay travelling with Eisenhower on missions
to far flung places before the final assault on Nazi Germany. She
becomes known as "Ike's shadow" and in letters Mamie bemoans his
new obsession with 'Ireland'. That does not stop him from using his
influence to grant Kay US citizenship and rank in the US army,
drawing her closer when he returns to America. When the US
authorities discover Eisenhower's plans to divorce from his wife
they threaten the fragile but passionate affair and Kay is forced
to take desperate measures to hold onto the man she loves...
