REMEMBERINGS - SINÉAD OCONNOR GEBUNDEN

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 has remained that way
for three decades. Now  in Rememberings  O'Connor tells 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. 'Inspiring  liberating  hilarious and
fascinating' Irish Times'Beautifully observed ... lyrical  funny and anguished' Guardian 'Her
voice on the page is as fearless  riveting and unforgettable as her voice in song. The cadence
alone is hypnotic  her story essential. Rememberings is a must-read' Michael Stipe'So good 
you'll want to read it twice' Sunday Independent'A soul-bearing  brutally honest account of an
extraordinary life' BBC Online'Tremendous . . . fierce and funny' Sunday Times Books of the
Year
