Anne-Lise Grobéty

Anne-Lise Grobéty (1 December 1949 – 5 October 2010) was a French-language Swiss journalist and an author of short stories, poetry and radio plays.

[1] Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds on the French-Swiss border, Grobéty studied literature at Neuchâtel University and went on to work as a journalist.

She completed her first novel, Pour mourir en février, when she was only 19 but after her second work in 1975 she devoted an extended period to her three daughters.

She returned to writing in 1984, with highly acclaimed works such as the novels Zéro positif and Infiniment plus and the short story collections La Fiancée d'hiver and Belle dame qui mord.

A long time ago I decided to work not on the busy high streets but in the back yards.
