Summary:
The
Note
through
the
wire
is a
true
World
War
II love
story
about a Slovenian partisan, Josefine Lobnik, and a New Zealand
prisoner
of
war
, Bruce Murray, who met by chance when she pushed a
note
through
the barbed
wire
fence of a POW camp. A series of remarkable coincidences saw their lives intersect, but they had to overcome extraordinary obstacles to realise their dream of a life together. On one level this is a rollicking yarn, with tales of intrigue, daring,
resistance
, retaliation and escape. On another it's a fascinating account of the
resistance
movement, the disastrous Allied Greek campaign, the harshness of wartime life in a conquered nation, the civil tensions that divided a young country and the barbarity of the advancing Soviet forces. But at its heart this is an against-all-odds love
story
between a POW and a local freedom fighter - a
true
story
with all the elements of fast-paced fiction.
