Rememberings

Reviews

Tremendous . . . fierce and funny Inspiring, liberating, hilarious and fascinating So good, you'll want to read it twice Beautifully observed . . . lyrical, funny and anguished It is a soul-bearing, brutally honest account of an extraordinary life Fantastic . . . the way it's written is f**kin' beautiful . . . go out and get it 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 Devastating, wise, hilarious and original A terrific book . . . absolutely brilliant O'Connor gets you onside so completely with her direct narrative, you feel you could be in the same room as her 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 Utterly brilliant Astonishing. Staggering Superb . . . fantastic Beautifully written Honest and illuminating Rememberings is an electrifying reminder of the importance of [O'Connor's] voice O'Connor brings everything to this memoir Incendiary Astonishingly good, wise and hilarious 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 Genuinely incredible . . . [Rememberings is] suffused with humour and forgiveness 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 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 Expand reviews
