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.
