Their love story, along with the fate of Klara’s family, comprises part one of the novel, set against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape. Andras is young and relatively naïve when he meets an enigmatic ballet student, Klara Morgenstern, and falls in love with her. Levi arrives in Paris in 1937 on a scholarship with only a single suitcase carrying a few meager possessions while his other siblings, Tibor, an older brother, and Matyas, a younger brother, wind up in other parts of Europe. World War II had already started to become the egregious monster that would threaten to consume the whole of Europe. Part love story, part struggle to survive, Andras Levi is a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student living in Paris in the late 1930s. Julie Orringer’s novel The Invisible Bridge is a follow up to her best selling story collection, How to Breathe Underwater.
