Lijtmaer recognizes herself as a second-generation exile, and addresses this in the presentation of her first novel Casi nada que ponerte, in which she tackles the reconstruction of the immediate past of a country, Argentina, which exploded in 2001, and the construction of her own personality as the daughter of exiles in Spain.[2] Research for this started in 2008, and her first draft was completed in 2011.
