Paris, 1937. Andras Levi, a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he promised to deliver. But when he falls into a complicated relationship with the letter's recipient, he becomes privy to a secret that will alter the course of his—and his family's—history. From the small Hungarian town of Konyár to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the despair of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in labor camps, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a family shattered and remade in history's darkest hour.
This is one of the best books I read. Besides giving me an incredible historical view of WWII from the Hungarian side, and being a very good story, it was one of the richest writings I have read. The descriptions were awsome and some scenes were so beautifully depicted, they made me go back and read that part again. A very rare thing for me who blows through to get the story. It held my attention from page 1 to the end. Lots of history set in a fictional family.
