Description

For readers of The Lives of Others and The Reader, and based on a true story, No Live Files Remain is a beautiful and moving novel of family, lies, betrayal and forgiveness. He wanted to understand the past. Now he must live with the truth. Thirty years after the fall of communism in Hungary, as acclaimed writer, translator, dramatist and visual artist Andras Forgach investigated his family's past he uncovered a horrifying truth.

His mother, whom he deeply loved, had been an informant for the Kadar regime.

She had informed not only on acquaintances but on family, friends and even her children. In the eagerly anticipated No Live Files Remain, with rights sold around the world, Forgach gives voice to his deceased mother, holding her responsible for her deeds while defending the memories he cherished of her as a son, and imagining her response. 'Mother wasn't lacking in evocativeness, no, no, I can affirm that.

She was the firmament, the high sky, and she still is, even covered in heavy clouds.' Andras Forgach
