The Note Through the Wire: A WWII prisoner of war, a resistance heroine and their incredible true story

‘An unforgettable love story set in perilous circumstances. It is a reminder that even in the most horrific times love will find a way and ultimately conquer. I can’t recommend it enough.’ Heather Morris, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz

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.
