I stumbled upon this book in an odd way, by watching something on Netflix in which this author had a bit part, and somehow I ended up reading about her and her life and work and thereby discovered this book.
She is a well-known comedian and actor in Australia. She describes her growing up years, struggling to understand her family and her life. Her father is from Poland and lived quite a violent life through the ghetto wars in Warsaw during WWII. That legacy leaves Magda with questions that she works through over many years.
Honestly, I found the first part of this book a little boring, but it vastly improved in the last third or so and became quite moving.
