The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer

This is a tale of war-torn lovers, family and survival of the luckiest rather than the fittest. The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a family shattered and remade in history's darkest hour. The book moves from the small Hungarian town of Konyar, to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris. It moves from the despair of the Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in the labor camps. It tells the story of Andras Levi, a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student who arrives in Paris in 1937, from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter that he has promised to deliver. He falls into a complicated relationship with the letter's recipient and becomes privy to a secret that will alter the course of his and his family's history.

It's a wonderful book. And I'm proud to say that I'm going to review it for the Sisterhood Book club.
