Past Forgetting by Kay Sommersby

My mother is a prolific reader and when she recommends a book it's usually a good one. This turned out to be one of the best books I have ever read.   Kay Sommersby wrote this story on her deathbed.  Not only is she a brilliant writer, but she has a lot of class.  She tells the world of her love affair with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II.  After only a few pages, one is drawn into the book and into the dynamic personality of this wonderful woman.

Not only does she give a first hand account of the inner circle of Allied commanders during the war, she gives us a unique understanding of Eisenhower as a human being.
