The Empress of Weehawken

Author: Irene  Dische

Great first person narrator, forceful, superior, opinionated and mean. That the author has the same name as the grand daughter makes me want to think that this is in part a memoir, but it is clearly labeled as fiction. It doesn't matter at all because the story is so fascinating and hard to put down. WWII, emigration to America, infidelity, weight gain and loss, and family, family, family.
