Irene Dische gives voice to her grandmother Elisabeth Rother, a Catholic without taboos, who from the grave observes her extended clan with a ruthless eye. Neither the flight to America nor the war unsettles her as much as her family. Between the bed, the Jews, God and the Gestapo, the novel composes a tragicomic portrait of a German-Jewish family of the twentieth century.
Published in October 2005. Original title: The Empress of Weehawken; German translation by Reinhard Kaiser.
For readers of family sagas with a historical background, particularly the German-Jewish experience of the twentieth century.
