Paris, 1937. Andras Lévi, 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 histo

Title: Historic Romance Set Against the Holocaust in France & Hungary
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2011
Review: I would have given the book 4&1/2 stars if I could. It just does not rise to the level of 5 star fiction. This 758 page book is the love story of Andres & Klara set against the brutatlity and unforgivable ferocity of the holocaust. The tale begins in Hungary as Andres is about to depart for Paris and a much sought after scholarship to a school for architects and other artists in Paris. By reputation it is the lesser of the two schools in Paris. However, Andres parents are poor and all the professional schools and universities in Europe have a Jewish quota of 6%. The quota and the need of a scholarship limits Andres. It is important to note that the U.S. had Jewish quotas in its universities and professional schools during the same era.
Andres leaves for Paris where he falls for an older woman who is a professional ballerina teaching in her private studio. His brother Tibor leaves Hungary later for medical school in Italy. When the nazis rise to power and influence politics in France, Andres loses his place in school and must return to Budapest. The same fate befalls Tibor. Their younger brother, Matyas, a professional window dresser and tap dancer, never has the chance to leave. Orringer paints pre-war Europe with the brush of anti-semitism. There is no wonder that the holocaust happened as Europeans watched. They knew what was happening, but they all acquiesed. They watched as Jews were thrown out of their houses. They watched as they were thrown out of their shops and businesses, and they watched as they walked to & from work assignments in tatered clothes in their malnourished and beaten bodies. They had no love for the Jews and barely tolerated them. This was a view perpetrated and encouraged by the Catholic church. It is based on one line in the gospels. Unfortunately, at the time and even today the Jews who truly were underdogs have ever been viewed as such by either the Hungarians or the French.
The story continues as Andres & Klara return to Budapest which is dangerous for Klara due to a prior experience fueled by the rampant pre-war antisemitism. They live a precarious life where her family is gradually stripped of their hard won wealth. The Nazi Arrow Cross, the Hungarian arm of Axis power rises. Andres is called to be a slave laborer under unsepakable conditions for months at a time. He survies in part because he can return home each night where he is fed and cared for by his wife. He is worked nearly to death and many Jews are killed in the work service. The tasks are very difficult and just out of meaness, the Jewish workers are denied work gloves, boots, and the wheels are removed from their wheelbarrows. The guards are amused by this. They walk home each night with their feet and hands wrapped in rags. Every 8 months or so they get a few weeks leave and Andres and his brother Tibor are nursed back to health by their wives. They are called up again and again and forced back into the work brigades. Survival is based on happenstance and luck. Intelligence and skill have little or nothing to do with it. At first the Hungarian Jews were not deported to the death camps as they were in the rest of Europe. Then as the war raged on and the nazis interferred with Hungarian politics, their work and living conditions became more oppressive. Andres & his friend,Mendel published a subversive undeground humor newspaper and distributed in the camp. When it was discovered with its insulting humor about the Nazis, Andres and Mendel were sent to remote locations where they did not return home each night and had no chance of returning alive. They were worked to death. Later Andres, his brother Tibor, Mendel and Andres brother-in-law Josef found themselves in the same camp. Matyas had long since disappeared and no one knew what had become of him. Tibor was the camp medic and presumably had the best chance of survival. Then Hungary follows Germany and deports most of their Jews to death camps like Auschwitz. Some of them survive and some do not. This novel is an engaging story. I had no trouble getting into it, and it remained gripping even though it was long. I do agree with some of the reviewers that Andres may have been portrayed as too perfect, but I also think a real person guided by a sense of honor and ethics could have been like him. It is interesting to note that few Jews remain in Hungary today. Even after the war anti-semitism persisted and all the Jews who could leave did so.

Title: Overwrought Sentimentality...for 700 pages
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2011
Review: I have a theory about why some people love this book and others, myself included, struggled to slog through it. First, I think it depends on your personal tolerance for sentimentality. Given that the first half of the book is a love story based on Love with a capital L, which itself is based on beauty, magical first glances, a forbidden element, and an ever mysterious woman, you'd better be content with a sentimentality meter reading that's over the moon. I have a number of reader-friends who would love to wrap themselves up in this kind of thing and take it home...and that's great. For them. If you're of the more cynical persuasion who raises an eyebrow at a college freshman professing his undying fidelity to the older woman who is his first love, wondering what kind of emotional backlash might ensue...don't bother ducking. There is no backlash. This is LOVE. If the main character Andras wrings his hat (and he does this a lot) in an emo fashion over his intended's perceived "infidelity", rest assured that all tension shall be based on complex yet innocent misunderstandings. Because this is LOVE.

And while we're on the subject of sentimentality, let's talk about the characterization. The large cast of co-protagonists in Andras' circle of family and friends are GOOD people, noble and innocent, with few exceptions. Even when the sky itself is on fire and raining down on them, they are insufferably selfless, starving themselves to feed children, nursing each other back to health and so on. They are even anachronistically Modern in their beliefs: of course only Fascists with a capital F would have the nerve to harass a perfectly harmless Gay character, while all our co-protagonists lovingly embrace him As He Is, no questions asked. As all the good non-fascists were wont to do in the late 30's... But the point of good characters is that we sympathize with them, right? Even if it makes them predictable and dull? I suppose, and yet somehow I resent being emotionally manipulated by this kind of forced sympathy: it's just too easy, when unspeakable horrors happen to good people for no reason, especially when children are involved. Of course I KNEW this was a holocaust saga going in, correct? Isn't that the very definition of the genre? What right do I have to complain about this, anyway? (I'll just mention that Suite Francaise was full of petty, ignoble, interesting characters, but somehow I cared about some of them anyway.)

One of the biggest barriers to my appreciation of the story was its relentlessly heavy tone of overwrought momentousness. Even in what should have been lighter moments the characters are wracked with angst and poetically purpled profound thoughts. The result, quite simply, is that it's exhausting. And repetitive. The characters are caught in a cycle of expressing their more dramatic emotions: shocked disbelief, breast-beating sorrow, ecstatic professions of love, misplaced tearful apologies for situations beyond their individual control. The few instances of attempted humor fell flat, and I SO wanted them to work. Even an epic saga needs humor, needs the grit of sarcasm and understatement, needs to turn occasionally away from the epic before we are beaten over the head with it.

Which leads me to one of my biggest issues with this book: that the superfluous, overwrought prose waters down what is, deep down, a moving story. The author feels compelled to EXPLAIN everything, not counting on the reader to GET IT on her own. The author relies too much on interpreting for us every little quiver of body language, lest we somehow miss the point of their next unsubtle outpouring of emotion.
The result of all this (unintentional?) telling is that it caulks up the hazy void where subtext tends to dwell. When an author insists on spelling out the meaning behind every little look, glance, and line of dialogue, we readers suspect our intelligence isn't trusted. Some of us don't mind, but some of us resent it. I noticed this sort of excessive interpretation in The Invisible Bridge, not just once, but consistently.

To be fair, there were some very powerful moments in this book. In particular, I was emotionally struck by the part in which Andras and his friend are punished for creating a humorous reactionary newspaper in one of the labor camps and literally forced to "eat their words". During the scene Andras has a chilling realization that he hasn't even seen the worst of the horrors which are to come. But while this should have been a turning point for Andras in which he should have either been galvanized into action or frightened into complicity, neither comes to pass. Apart from a few quips that "you should have seen what they did to us", this scene may as well have never happened, for all the impact it has on Andras' characterization. He is still his same Good self, still willing to conduct a bit of passive resistance without holding his neck out too far.

I think I'm being a bit harsh. Few of us are aware of the Hungarian role in WWII, and Orringer's meticulous research into the details of everyday life in Paris and Budapest are laudable (although the wikipedia-esque summaries of battles and broad political developments that pop up every time a character sits down to read the paper could have been better incorporated). I'm still feeling more than a bit guilty about this review because I know the characters are based on the remarkable experiences of the author's family, and of course one never wants to show one's ancestors in a bad light unless they deserve it. At the same time, in FICTION I want to read about tortured, flawed characters who don't always think politically correct thoughts or are likewise always charitable and forgiving. And not for an unending 700 page slog.

Don't think that a short book could possibly do justice to a weighty subject like WWII? Then I recommend the tiny, incredibly powerful 85 pg novella "Closely Watched Trains" by Bohumil Hrabal about Czech resistance to the German Occupation. It's hilarious and brutal, and takes just one afternoon to read.
