Told brilliantly, it is amusing and tragi-comic

Buchjournal

Both moving and devastatingly funny

Bayerischer Rundfunk

Joschi Molnar is an enigma: father, Holocaust survivor, wit, and fabulous liar. After his death his three surviving children are left with contrasting versions of his life, yet corresponding attitudes to their childhood: thirty years since Joschi Molnar died, his lasting legacy is one of confusion, unanswered questions, and irrevocable differences. On what would have been their father's 100th birthday, the Molnar children - along with Joschi's sixteen-year-old grand-daughter, Lily - stage a reunion: but in a lively Italian restaurant, as they remember the man that none of them really knew, their shared history dissolves into tall tales, fights, confessions and laughter.

Blackly comic, A Fabulous Liar is a heartrending novel about family and storytelling - those stories we tell about ourselves, those we tell about each other and those we pass down from generation to generation.
