Klappentext zu „The Invisible Bridge “
In September 1937 Andras, a young Hungarian student, leaves his family and heads for Paris on a scholarship to study architecture. Before he sets off he is given a mysterious letter to post on arrival in Paris. It is addressed to an Hungarian woman and no reason is given why it cannot be posted from Budapest. When Andras arrives in Paris he becomes vitally aware of his poverty, particularly when he enters the home of a richer Hungarian emigre Klara Morgenstern. She is a young widowed woman, and he finds himself falling in love with her. As they begin to meet regularly it is clear that Klara is hiding a terrifying secret, related to the mysterious letter that Andras posted on arrival, which means she is trapped in Paris as war looms closer. And, as Andras and his fellow students' lives become ever more vulnerable in the shadow of war, the group must shatter in order to survive. Andras is forced home to a labour camp, his brother disappears and Klara risks everything to return to Hungary to be close to her lover.

Rezension zu „The Invisible Bridge “
The word "epic" seems inadequate to describe Julie Orringer's phenomenal first novel. You don't so much read it as live it ... This is one that cries for you to linger over, page by enthralling page -- Simon Schama Financial Times It does what novels often set out to do but seldom achieve. The marvellous thing about The Invisible Bridge is that it takes what is novelistic about real life and presses it up against the shattered mirror in which we see ourselves -- George Szirtes The Times A beautiful and sad book but also one that really deserves to be described as 'life affirming -- Fiction Of The Week Metro In this powerful and affecting novel, crowded with the details of the lives they led and the miseries inflicted on them, she has done her family justice Sunday Times
