Last summer, Katherine May was approaching 40, feeling overwhelmed by motherhood and lacking connection with others, lost in a world of inundation and expectation. She had always felt different, but this feeling was new. She wanted to get out, get free and find herself again - and so set about walking the rugged 450-mile South West Coast Path. However, this journey uncovered more than she had ever imagined.

This book will have a life-long positive effect on me. Katherine May, in coming out to the whole world as autistic (!!!), has given women like her (especially those who are mothers) a role model and if ever there was a group that needs good role models, it is the autistic. I will reread this book and give the hard copy I have also ordered to family and close friends. At last I have something which is a very close description of what it feels like to be me. The fact that May ultimately celebrates her autistic traits is one of the book's main strengths and I suspect may even save a few lives.
I enjoyed the descriptive writing on the English coastline. It made me feel like I was there too. The author's support for biodiversity in landscape and wildlife ecological systems mirrors her acceptance of neurodiversity within the human ecological system.

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.

Loved it.

Entertaining and endearing. Magda is a national treasure. Readers of the hard copy are missing out big-time on all her wonderful accents, which take the performance to another level.
