Meet Magda Szubanski when she discusses her memoir Reckoning with Amanda Hampson.

Honest, poignant, captivating - Reckoning  is the book where Magda Szubanski, one of Australia's most beloved performers, tells her story.

In this extraordinary memoir, Magda 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 frailities and fears, and asks the big questions about life, about the shadows we inherit and the gifts we pass on.
