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

A terrific book . . . absolutely brilliant
*Brendan O'Connor*

O'Connor gets you onside so completely with her direct narrative, you feel you could be in the same room as her
*Sunday Times*

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

Astonishingly good, wise and hilarious
*Louise Nealon*

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
*Anglo-Celt*

Genuinely incredible . . . [Rememberings is] suffused with humour and forgiveness
*Guardian*

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
*Independent*

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
