Weekend Australian''Unlike most autobiographies by famous people, Reckoning has substance beyond the writer's fame.Szubanski's fine memoir, written with great style, adds another layer to our history.'' Crikey''This is documentary writing of the highest order and Szubanski has given life to an incredible war story.This tale of war and suburbia, sexuality and comedy, is likely to be the most popular Australian book of the year.'' Age/Sydney Morning Herald''This is an inspiring memoir of a woman who faced her demons, sought treatment for depression and overcame disappointments.'' Good Reading''A page-turner.[Szubanski] is articulate and likeable as she tries to reconcile herself with the many difficult aspects of her past.'' New Zealand Herald''Reckoning is a beautiful and moving story of a serious, thoughtful and complex person.'' Paul Barclay, ABC Radio National Books and Arts, Best Books 2015''Magda Szubanski's brave, compassionate -- and hilarious -- Reckoning may be some sort of masterpiece of the form.'' Australian, Best Books 2015''A deeply personal read -- sometimes uncomfortable so -- but Magda is an honest, forthright guide, and her love for her parents (and her siblings, especially older sister Barbara) shine through. This is not a sentimental read, nor is it a self-pitying one, but it's a warm, intelligent, brave and occasionally eye-opening one. I found it utterly captivating and came away from it feeling as if Magda had somehow exonerated the ghosts of her family's past -- or at least come to terms with them.'' Reading Matters''This was an interesting read that I would highly recommend to both those who have heard of Magda and for those who haven't. I am definitely going to be checking out more of her work. 4/5'' Debra's Book Cafe''Hard hitting and superbly told.If there's one memoir you should read this year regardless of whether or not you know the author, it's this one.'' Worm Hole''This memoir uncovers long-held secrets with disarming candour. Not a celebrity exposé as much as a family history, Reckoning is moving and compassionate. That Szubanski can act is a given fact; that she can also write is revelatory.'' Best Books of 2016, Sydney Morning Herald''Magda Szubanski's memoir, Reckoning, appealed to the genre-loving reader in me. It felt as if I was watching hundreds of movies; wartime espionage, the migrant's journey, the coming-of-age school saga, the uni student's journey at the height of 1970s feminism, and more. It was epic, but so uniquely Australian and despite our different upbringings, it felt personal. As if it was written specifically for that younger me who took forever to feel comfortable in her own skin, so she could take on the world.'' Melina Marchetta, Best Books of 2016, Guardian''Magda Szubanski lays bare her remarkable family history in the beautifully written, powerful and at time harrowing Reckoning.One of the finest memoirs of the year, through all of the dark places, Reckoning never loses sight of her remarkable wit.''
