Rememberings

Narrated by: Sinead O'Connor

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.

I really enjoyed the book and I'm vert glad she's narrating it herself. it gives to listener a completely different experience.

Thank you. Your work helps me.

Thanks Shuhada/Sinead. I only just found out that you wrote a book so I rushed here to listen to it! You didn"t need anymore qualifications to help me - your work helps me a lot. I won't say that I hope that you're doing ok coz I think you hate that! 🙂 All the best, Love Theresa

highly recommended

loved this. 'twas like sitting at the kitchen table and hearing her tell entertaining stories about a unique and unconventional life, but way more; she reveals her self and her soul with honesty, vulnerability and humor. not literature, but high storytelling, as is the Irish tradition

The honest and beautiful account of a hero of our time

I already loved Sinéad before reading but it was both heartbreaking and inspiring to hear the parts I knew nothing about and the details of the parts I did. I love her more for her story. It’s true to her integrity that reads it herself in that beautiful voice of hers. God bless her. I’m thankful she exists in our world.

a must for a fan so so for others

For fans 4. None fans 3.
1988 my friend introduces me to pink floyd. I think of him the coolest but then i introduced him to sinead and i become king. We had nothing to do except books and music. So i kind of had a long relationship with her, i idealized her.
The book leaves a lot not said. But it shows a glimpse into her early life, and how settling it is to finally have a good relationship with God Allah The one The kind Almighty.

So personal and raw

Absolutely loved it. The more I listened the more I wanted. I just wanted to hold her and comfort her. She became so real while listening to her. What an opportunity for her to correct everything that has been said about her and leave beautiful acknowledgements for the people that she held so dear. I am glad she managed to record this before she crossed over. May she feel loved, held, revered, and know the effect she has had on people. I Hope her kids are proud of her. I am sure it wasn’t easy for them. Maybe this will help them understand.
