THE LANDMARK MEMOIR OF A GLOBAL MUSIC ICON
SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2021

Sinéad O'Connor's voice and trademark shaved head made her famous by the age of twenty-one. Her recording of Prince's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' made her a global icon. She outraged millions when she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on American television.

O'Connor was unapologetic and impossible to ignore, calling out hypocrisy wherever she saw it. She remained that way for over three decades.

In her acclaimed No 1 bestselling memoir Rememberings, O'Connor told her story - the heartache of growing up in a family falling apart; her early forays into the Dublin music scene; her adventures and misadventures in the world of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll; the fulfilment of being a mother; her ongoing spiritual quest - and through it all, her abiding passion for music.

Rememberings is intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and full of hard-won insights. It is a unique and remarkable chronicle by a unique and remarkable artist.

firstly, this has to be one of the best autobiography I have ever listened to and the only one that I want to go out and buy in hard back, what an addition to my books on my bookshelf.
Sin'ead O'connor beautiful Irish voice is captivating , and her story very honest.Also being the same age I can relate to so much of the book , its music, culture and attitudes of the time, and I can say Sin'ead was way ahead of her time with music and activism.such a Brave outspoken women, very underestimated!I love how there were chapters devoted to the story behind some of her songs and Albums, and Through this book I have also discovered her music for the first time. I certainly missed the boat but better late than never! Theology has the most beautiful songs on it I have ever heard I Love it . I've always been driven to Irish voices and music , im only 1/3rd Irish, but I'm guessing that's the stronger gene coming through. Thankyou Sin'ead, and good luck with the rest of your life , keep making music and being your honest self 💜
