About the Author - Yesterday

Born in Hungary, Ágota Kristóf left her homeland after the failed revolution of 1956 and settled in Switzerland. Her first novel, The Notebook (Le Grand Cahier), was published in English in 1989, followed by The Proof (La Preuve) in 1991. Both have been translated into fifteen languages. They are now available, along with the first English-language translation of The Third Lie, as a trilogy entitled The Book of Lies.
