    About this audiobook

    Andrea Corr’s Barefoot Pilgrimage is a compelling and honest memoir.

    In part, an exercise in coming to terms with and making sense of life and mortality following the loss of a beloved father; in part, a reflection on an unlikely journey with her siblings through the music industry; in part, a meditation on family, on music, and on creativity; and, in part, a shout-out for love and for hope.

    Illustrated with personal photographs and with original poems interspersed throughout the text, this is a very personal – at times very funny, at times deeply moving – book from an iconic figure in popular music.

      I was about 13, on a sofa in front of the television on a wet Saturday afternoon. I was carelessly able to do that once – sigh. I was watching a black-and-white film. Or maybe the TV was black-and-white – probably. It was a story about a nanny caring

      A wonderful story of a simple family whose siblings became a famous band during the 90s.. Andrea is not just a good singer but also a good story teller. I'm glad i've read this book and discover how the lyrics of their songs were written and accompanied with beautiful melodies...such an inspiration ?
