THE NOTE THROUGH THE WIRE

Doug Gold

A WWII prisoner of war, a resistance heroine and their incredible true story

THE NOTE THROUGH THE WIRE is an incredible story with pace, drama, romance and the clear, kind hand of fate working in the most awful of circumstances.
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 their tales of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture and retaliation is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds. Their son-in-law, Doug Gold, now writes their extraordinary true story of a love that emerged, against all odds, between two young people from opposite sides of the globe fighting for freedom during World War II. Doug Gold has had a long and successful media career. With a business partner, he set up the More FM radio network and, later, was a founding partner of NRS Media, an international media company with offices in London, Atlanta, Toronto and Sydney. He has won numerous broadcasting awards and consulted to major media networks globally. He lives in Wellington with his wife, Anemarie.

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.

Gold - who admits to taking liberties with the timeline and some character details - sets a brisk pace and vividly describes the landscape of war-torn Europe. This WWII love story enthralls.
