After I finished her audiobook, I had to listen to it again immediately, because I just so enjoy the feeling of #SinéadOConnor just chatting with me, her speaking voice and rhythm is so soothing. I love her speaking voice filling my house. Her singing voice is one thing, but her conversational tone in the audiobook is something else!
I can't recommend it enough!

Plus, she's a great mimic, doing the voices of everyone who's ever crossed her path!
My favorite vignette is the bit about her Aunt Francis, and how she'd have Sinéad hold up and display the album covers of her record collection as they listened. "Innit he lovely? Innit he lovely?"
