Una historia de amistad, de supervivencia, de personajes entrañables, de lealtades inquebrantables, amores imposibles y traiciones imperdonables.

Afganistán, 2004. La doctora Edith Lombard, de Médicos Sin Fronteras, hace guardia en un hospital de Kabul. Al atender a una joven en quirófano advierte en su cuello algo que atrae su atención: un collar del que cuelga una perla de ámbar. Una perla que Edith reconoce enseguida, pues fue robada en su casa de Quebec dieciocho años antes, en un atraco en el que su madre falleció de un disparo. Una perla de la que su padre, Édouard Lombard, había contado que perteneció a la famosa Cámara de Ámbar de San Petersburgo, desparecida durante la II Guerra Mundial.

Bilbao,1937. Del puerto de Santurce está a punto de zarpar el Habana, que llevará a más de cuatro mil niños hasta la Unión Soviética, huyendo de la guerra civil que ahogaba el país. Allí, su historia, la historia de unos exiliados utilizados como marionetas por el gobierno de Stalin, se hilvanará con la de la perla de ámbar en un viaje de setenta años que desempolvará recuerdos que nadie quería que viesen la luz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story about friendship, survival, charming characters, unbreakable loyalties, impossible loves, and unforgivable betrayals.

Afghanistan, 2004. Edith Lombard, from Doctors Without Borders, was on duty at a hospital in Kabul. While attending to a young woman in the operating room, she notices something around her neck that takes her attention: a necklace with an amber pearl hanging. A pearl that Edith recognizes right away, as it was stolen from her house in Quebec eighteen years earlier during a robbery in which her mother was shot dead. A pearl that her father, Édouard Lombard, had said belonged to the famous Amber Room in Saint Petersburg but disappeared during World War II.

Bilbao, 1937. The Habana is about to set sail from the port of Santurce to the Soviet Union with more than four thousand children fleeing the civil war that is drowning the country. There, their story--of the exiles being used as puppets by Stalin's government--will intertwine with that of the amber pearl on a seventy-year journey that will dust off memories that nobody wanted to see the light.
