Rememberings

Sinéad O'Connor
Fiona SturgesFiona Sturges

The writing is spare and conversational, and reveals O’Connor as self-deprecating, pragmatic and a sharp observer... The final chapters, are episodic. But they remain, like the rest of her book, full of heart, humour and remarkable generosity.
