Reckoning: A Memoir by Magda Szubanski

Reckoning: A Memoir by Magda Szubanski

In this extraordinary memoir, Magda Szubanski describes her journey of self-discovery from a suburban childhood, haunted by the demons of her father's espionage activities in wartime Poland and by her secret awareness of her sexuality, to the complex dramas of adulthood and her need to find out the truth about herself and her family. With courage and compassion she addresses her own frailties and fears, and asks the big questions about life, about the shadows we inherit and the gifts we pass on.

Magda Szubanski is one of Australia's best known and most loved performers. She appeared in numerous sketch comedy shows before creating the character of Sharon Strzelecki in the TV show Kath and Kim. She has also acted in films (Babe, Happy Feet, The Golden Compass) and stage shows. Reckoning is her first book.
