Magda down memory lane

FUNNY girl Magda Szubanski is coming to Noosa to launch her memoir, Reckoning, at an exclusive lunch on 15 October.
Described as heartbreaking, joyous, traumatic, intimate and revelatory, 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 frailties and fears, and asks the big questions about life, about the shadows we inherit and the gifts we pass on.
Honest, poignant and utterly captivating, Reckoning announces the arrival of a fearless writer and natural storyteller, and is sure to touch the lives of its readers.
Magda will launch her memoir at a special two-course lunch on Thursday 15 October at Ricky’s on Noosa River, from noon.
The lunch is $55 per person, and can be booked through Annies Books of Peregian on 5448 2053 or by emailing anniesbooks@bigpond.com.
