The Invisible Bridge

by Julie Orringer
Hennepin County Library hardcover 597 pages
genre: historical fiction, WWII

Wow. I've stayed up way too late on a school night to finish this book. Amazing story about Andras Levi, a young Jew from Hungary with artistic talent and a desire to become an architect. France, Budapest, Ukraine, Italy, America . . . Klara, Tibor, Matyas, Polaner, Klein . . . so much in this powerful story. But I really need to go to bed. The author has created a memorable tale.
