En mayo de 1937, tras el bombardeo de Guernica, miles de niños vascos partieron al exilio desde el puerto de Bilbao. Entre ellos, Karmentxu, una niña de ocho años, fue acogida en Gante, Bélgica, por el escritor Robert Mussche. La vida de Robert cambiará con la llegada de la niña, su implicación en la resistencia durante la Guerra Civil y el advenimiento de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esta novela, heredera de Sostiene Pereira de Tabucchi o El último encuentro de Sándor Márai, es la historia que el propio autor le cuenta a su mejor amigo, recientemente fallecido, sobre un héroe anónimo. Una historia de amistad, amor, compromiso y lealtad, que explora la irreversibilidad de las decisiones que marcan una vida.
