Klappentext

"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, âEdouard 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."--
