Publisher Description
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.

Customer Reviews
A beautiful read of a real life- a thoughtful and pensive read!
I loved the simplicity and raw honesty of this book. Sinead - you make the world a better place. Thank you!
Breathtaking
Beautiful beautiful Sinead, what a wonderful story of her life only writing of the good and no told you so. If you are ever going to read a book this is it.
Thank you Sinead for sharing your story with us.
I was compelled to attend to every word. Of course she could write too!
Mesmerising. A tiny glimpse into a beautiful, soulful, erudite, musically intuitive, naughty but immensely compassionate Sinéad O’Connor. May Shuhada Sadaqat rest in paradise, know her worth, and how beloved she is.
