The Note Through the Wire

An extraordinary true story of a love that emerged, against all odds, between two young people from opposite sides of the globe as they fought for freedom during World War II.

Description

In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. One is an underground resistance fighter; the other a prisoner of war. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.

The Note Through the Wire is the true story of Josefine Lobnik, a Yugoslav partisan heroine, and Bruce Murray, a New Zealand soldier, who, due to a succession of near-impossible coincidences, discover love in the midst of a brutal war.

Woven through this tale of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture, and retaliation is the remarkable story of a love that survived against all odds. This is an extraordinary account of two ordinary people living through the unimaginable hardship of Hitler's barbaric regime.
