The Note Through the Wire

'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.

'Sensational - an absolute page-turner, full of love but also the grim realities of what war was like for those on the ground.' Emma Clifton, The Australian Women's Weekly

'Gripping and, ultimately, uplifting...The Note Through the Wire is an extraordinary tale of survival against unbelievable odds and of the power of love to transcend obstacles, difficulties and boundaries.' Steve Walker, Sunday Star Times
