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
Remembering
Beautifully written and beautifully read by Sinead O’Connor. Honest, heartbreaking and incredibly witty.
The bravest woman ever.
Vulnerably informative
I think hearing her versions of everything and the normalisation of things people dare not talk about thanks to judgement and /or embarrassment is liberating. I started this whilst she was still with us and finished it on the day of her memorial. Rest in power
Everyone listen
Beautifully candid, with lashings of compassion m. Thanks for sharing.
