Praised as an "unforgettable love story" by Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, this is the real-life, unlikely romance between a resistance fighter and prisoner of war set in World War II Europe.
In
this true love story that defies all odds, Josefine Lobnik, a Yugoslav
partisan heroine, and Bruce Murray, a New Zealand soldier, discover love in
the midst of a brutal war.
In
the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance
encounter. One an underground resistance fighter, a bold young woman
determined to vanquish the enemy occupiers; the other a prisoner of war, a
man longing to escape the confines of the camp so he can battle again. A
crumpled note passes between these two strangers, slipped through the wire of
the compound, and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.
Woven through
their tales of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture, and retaliation
is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds. This is an
extraordinary account of two ordinary people who found love during the
unimaginable hardships of Hitler's barbaric regime as told by their son-in-law
Doug Gold, who decided to tell their story from the moment he heard about their
remarkable tale of bravery, resilience, and resistance.
