The biography of the singer Moya (Maire) Brennan, of Clannad, older sister of Enya, detailing her naïve, innocent childhood, Clannad’s success and rise to fame, her experience with with abortion, drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, marriage-breakdown, illegitimate pregnancy, miscarriage – and how she made it out the other side. I know people have said that the more they find out about celebrities, the less they want to know, but this wasn’t like that at all. It was interesting, but more than that, it was inspirational. It was sad, moving and real, and so positive, with a lot of amusing stories along the way. And photos - I liked those. It was definitely worth reading! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Raised in county Donegal, Ireland, Maire began her musical career with family band Clannad. Along with sister Enya, and the other members of Clannad, Maire has always fiercely guarded her privacy. Yet in recent years - largely due to a new self confidence and discovery of Christian faith - Maire has begun to share a testimony that has inspired thousands of fans on both sides of the Atlantic. We follow her life - from idyllic innocent childhood in county Donegal, through the highs and lows of success in the public eye, the personal torment of successive relationship breakdown, and the consequences of promiscuity and drug and alcohol indulgence. Ultimately this is a story of a woman whose dream became a nightmare, and yet throughout the trauma a still small voice continued to whisper her name. In seeking out that voice she finally found her love and security she had craved all her life. No library descriptions found. |

I read it over the course of 3 or 4 days, which is very quick for someone with my limited attention span. I found the sections about Maire's wild years, including her trip across the Irish Sea to an abortionist, quite wrenching. It was a little weird to read about her falling in love with a devout Christian and then to read about them living together out of wedlock for quite a while. Eventually, they admitted that that was out of harmony with their faith and began to live chaste lives before their marriage, and Maire talks about how that enhanced their relationship. ( )
