About this audiobook
A WWII prisoner of war, a resistance heroine and their incredible true story.
In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. Josefine Lobnik is a Yugoslav underground resistance fighter; Bruce Murray a New Zealand soldier and prisoner of war. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.
This is an extraordinary true account of two ordinary people living through the unimaginable hardship of Hitler's barbaric regime. Woven through their tales of near-impossible coincidences, great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture and retaliation is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds.
“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
