Julie Orringer’s amazing first book, eagerly awaited because the publication of her heralded best-selling short-story collection, How to Breathe Underwater (“fiercely beautiful”—The New York Times; “unbelievably good”—Monica Ali), is a grand love report set against the setting of Budapest and Paris, an epic tale of three brothers whose lives are ravaged by conflict, and the chronicle of 1 family’s have difficulty against the pushes that threaten to annihilate it.
Paris, 1937. Andras Lévi, a Hungarian-Jewish structures student, occurs from Budapest with a scholarship, an individual suitcase, and a mysterious notice he has guaranteed to deliver to C. Morgenstern on the rue de Sévigné. As he comes into a complicated romance with the notice’s recipient, he becomes aware of a secret history that will alter the course of his own life. In the mean time, as his elder sibling takes up medical studies in Modena and their youthful brother leaves university for the level, European countries’s unfolding tragedy directs each of the lives into terrifying uncertainty. At the end of Andras’s second summer in Paris, most of European countries erupts in a cataclysm of conflict.
From the tiny Hungarian town of Konyár to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the lonely chill of Andras’s room on the rue des Écoles to the deep and enduring connection he discovers on the rue de Sévigné, from the despair of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in required labor camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge says the story of an love tested by disaster, of brothers whose bonds can't be broken, of a family shattered and remade in history’s darkest hour, and of the dangerous electric power of artwork in a period of conflict.
Expertly crafted, magnificently written, emotionally haunting, and impossible to put down, The Invisible Bridge resoundingly confirms Julie Orringer’s place as one of today’s most vital and commanding young literary talents.
