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

Blindboy Boatclub

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

Michael Stipe

Devastating, wise, hilarious and original

Róisín Ingle

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

Daily Telegraph

From wild youth to troubled adulthood, this memoir is a blast of chaos

Times

Utterly brilliant

Paul Howard

Astonishing. Staggering

Rob Delaney

Superb . . . fantastic

Irish Independent

Rememberings is an electrifying reminder of the importance of [O'Connor's] voice

Rememberings is both a searing critique of the exploitation of women in entertainment and a riposte to those who have misrepresented her

Scotsman

O'Connor brings everything to this memoir

Financial Times

Incendiary

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
