<p><b>THE LANDMARK MEMOIR OF A GLOBAL MUSIC ICON<br>SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2021</b><br><br>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.<br><br>O'Connor was unapologetic and impossible to ignore, calling out hypocrisy wherever she saw it. She remained that way for over three decades.<br><br>In her acclaimed No 1 bestselling memoir <i>Rememberings</i>, 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.<br><br><b><i>Rememberings</i> 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.</b><br><br>*****<br><br><b>'Inspiring, liberating, hilarious and fascinating' <i>Irish Times</i><br><br>'Beautifully observed ... lyrical, funny and anguished' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br><b>'Her voice on the page is as fearless, riveting and unforgettable as her voice in song. The cadence alone is hypnotic, her story essential. <i>Rememberings </i>is a must-read' Michael Stipe<br><br>'So good, you'll want to read it twice' <i>Sunday Independent</i><br><br>'A soul-bearing, brutally honest account of an extraordinary life'<i> BBC Online</i></b><br><br><b>'Tremendous . . . fierce and funny' <i>Sunday Times Books of the Year</i></b></p>
