I Can’t Tell You But I Will: A Memoir

Magda Szubanski

I Can’t Tell You But I Will is the powerful and tender new memoir by Magda Szubanski, author of the bestselling, award-winner Reckoning.

In her book she writes with searing honesty about her complicated relationship with her dying mother Margaret.

As Magda stepped into the fight for same-sex marriage in Australia, she was also confronting the heartbreak of her mother’s decline.

This unforgettable book describes the true cost of caring, the courage it takes to keep going, and the impossible pull between public duty and private grief.

A beautiful hardcover, I Can’t Tell You But I Will is for everyone who has loved or lost someone, or tried to hold themselves together when life demands everything at once.
