THE LANDMARK MEMOIR OF A GLOBAL MUSIC ICONSHORTLISTED 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. *****
