Julie Orringer’s astounding first novel, eagerly awaited since the publishing of her heralded best-selling short-story group, How to Breathe Underwater, is a love story set against the scene of Budapest and Paris, an heroic tale of brothers whose lives are ravaged by war, and the chronicle of one family’s attempt against the forces that threaten to annihilate it.
Paris, 1937. Andras, a Hungarian-Jewish structure pupil, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a one suitcase, and a mystical letter he has promised to deliver it to C. Morgenstern on the rue. As he falls into a complicated relation with the letter’s recipient, he becomes owner of something private to a undercover history that will change the of his own life. Meanwhile, as his sibling takes up medical studies in Modena and their younger brother leaves for the platform, Europe’s unfolding tragedy sends a piece of their lives into terrifying dubiousness. At the end of Andras’s 2nd summer in Paris, all of Europe erupts in a cataclysm of war.
From the little Hungarian townsfolk to the grand theater houses of Budapest and Paris, from the dejected alter of Andras’s room on the rue to the intense and patient connection he discovers on the rue;, from the condition of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in difficult labour camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a love tested by hardship, of brothers whose bonds cannot be dotted, of a family destroyed and remade in chronicle’s darkest period, and of the insecure force of art in a time of war.
Expertly crafted, magnificently codified, emotionally unforgettable, and inconceivable to put descending , The Invisible Bridge resoundingly confirms Julie Orringer’s place as one of today’s most essential and overlooking youngish literate talents.
