The Invisible Bridge 
by Julie Orringer. I’m 60% of the way through this highly anticipated novel. It is an epic tale and love story about Jewish Hungarians before and during WWII. I'm struggling with how good the good characters are. But if you like historical fiction about this era, it is probably worth your while." Update: I finished it. Highbrow critics from the Washington Post and other outlets have insisted that Orringer could not have spared ONE WORD from the epic tale. I beg to differ. She could have spared about 100 pages of words. HOWEVER, it is still a very good book, enormously important I think, and well worth the effort.
