Una novela conmovedora de Kirmen Uribe, traducida del vasco por Pau Joan Hernández, que narra la historia vasca, española y europea de los últimos 90 años. El Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao adquiere el cuadro 'Nit d’artistes a Ibaigane', de Antonio Gezala, que reproduce una escena nocturna típica de los años 20. La novela cuenta la vida de Txomin Letamendi, trompetista en una banda de jazz, y su esposa, Karmele Urresti. Antes de la Guerra Civil, Letamendi tocó con Ravel y Rubinstein, y actuó en Nueva York. Con la llegada de la Guerra Civil, se exilió a Francia, donde conoció a Karmele, enfermera e hija de una familia adinerada de Ondarroa.
