[REVIEW] Metanoia by Anna McGahan

Logie-nominated actress Anna McGahan is eloquently honest in this memoir. She is unfiltered as she details her life – from her life-threatening wrestle with an eating disorder as a teen, to her understanding of her body, sexuality and identity as an actress who was initially lauded for her sex appeal.

McGahan is a true artist and this shows in her writing. Each story is told with authenticity and vivid description. Through this, we see the breadcrumbs God dropped for her, and her candid descriptions of how God met her will leave you amazed.

There is candour to this memoir that is entirely unique. It details the people and events that shaped her before and after her conversion but does so with a sense of wholeness, security and stability. If you are wrestling with religious constructs, or merely want an insight into the performing arts industry, this memoir is a gold mine.
