The invisible bridge [a novel]

Summary: Julie Orringer's astonishing first novel-- eagerly awaited since the publication of her heralded best-selling short-story collection, How to Breathe Underwater ("Fiercely beautiful"--The New York Times) is a grand love story and an epic tale of three brothers whose lives are torn apart by war. Paris, 1937. Andras L�evi, a Hungarian Jewish architecture student, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he has promised to deliver to C. Morgenstern on the rue de S�evign�e. As he becomes involved with the letter's recipient, his elder brother takes up medical studies on Modena, their younger brother leaves school for the stage, and Europe's unfolding tragedy sends each of their lives into terrifying uncertainty. From the Hungarian village of Kony�ar to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the lonely chill of Andra's garret to the enduring passion he discovers on the rue de S�evign�e, from the despair of a Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in forced labor camps and beyond.
