Just finished a wonderful book:

The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer

This is an epic novel (in size - 600 pgs - and scope) about Hungarian Jews in the 1930s and into WWII. It focuses on the middle son of a working class Jewish Hungarian family, Andras Levi, who gets a scholarship in 1937 to go to Paris and study architecture. While in Paris he meets the beautiful and older Claire Morgenstern, and from there the book becomes an amazing love story and then a difficult tragedy as the Germans close in first on Paris and then Hungary. The writing is beautiful and the book holds you, even though it is long. Highly recommended.
