After the bombing of Guernica, thousands of Basque children leave Bilbao into exile. Karmentxu, aged eight, finds refuge in Ghent with the writer Robert Mussche. Her arrival, the resistance and the Second World War change her life. Uribe tells a deceased friend the story of an anonymous hero and of family bonds that exile breaks.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in historical memory, exile and anonymous heroes.
