She recounts her narrow escape with her Jewish husband from the Nazis, and the perilous voyage to the New World of New Jersey, but those, for her, are mere facts of life. For Elisabeth, bighearted and obstinate, the most bothersome and consuming subjects are the unconventional paths and waywardness of her daughter, Renate, and her granddaughter, Irene. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Empress of Weehawken\u003c\/i\u003e is a curiously touching love letter to the difficult but sustaining love of mothers and daughters.
