Why read it?
1 author picked The Note Through the Wire as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am a sucker for war-time love stories, and the tragedy of this one is it is true.

A simple, crumpled note passed between strangers through a barbed wire fence begins weaving a true tale, a love story rivaling that of Romeo and Juliet.
