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.

Critics Review
Tremendous . . . fierce and funny
Inspiring, liberating, hilarious and fascinating
So good, you’ll want to read it twice
Beautifully observed . . . lyrical, funny and anguished
It is a soul-bearing, brutally honest account of an extraordinary life
Fantastic . . . the way it’s written is f**kin’ beautiful . . . go out and get it
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
Devastating, wise, hilarious and original
A terrific book . . . absolutely brilliant
O’Connor gets you onside so completely with her direct narrative, you feel you could be in the same room as her
Rememberings offers O’Connor’s very personal version of events, a tale of maternal and institutional abuse that might be a misery memoir, if it weren’t related with such eccentric charm and cheery fortitude
From wild youth to troubled adulthood, this memoir is a blast of chaos
Utterly brilliant
Astonishing. Staggering
Superb . . . fantastic
Beautifully written
Honest and illuminating
Rememberings is an electrifying reminder of the importance of [O’Connor’s] voice
O’Connor brings everything to this memoir
Incendiary
Astonishingly good, wise and hilarious
Candid, open-hearted . . . a lot of self-deprecation, a lot of laughs, and a measure of honesty that would put most of us to shame
Genuinely incredible . . . [Rememberings is] suffused with humour and forgiveness
There’s nothing conventional about Sinéad O’Connor and there’s little conventional about her memoir either. . . She writes with searing honesty and plenty of wit
Her complicated life makes for riveting reading. From ripping up photographs of the Pope on prime time US television and her mental health struggles to a rollercoaster spiritual quest, she has never been afraid to be fearless
