Post Description

From the acclaimed, controversial singer-songwriter Sinéad O&;Connor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood, musical triumphs, fearless activism, and of the enduring power of song.

Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament, Sinéad O&;Connor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty, she was world famous&;living a rock star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up Pope John Paul II&;s photograph, Sinéad has fascinated and outraged millions.

In Rememberings, O&;Connor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional, abusive household. Inspired by a brother&;s Bob Dylan records, she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sinéad completing her first album while eight months pregnant, hanging with Rastas in the East Village, and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Prince&;s &;Nothing Compares 2U.&;

Intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career, Sinéad&;s memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist.
