Main article: Moya Brennan

Brennan describes the experiences of growing up in an Irish speaking household and early interests in music through to her success recording with Clannad, Bono and finding her faith with help from her husband.[1]

Reception

The book was well received globally, despite Brennan's worries about several tragedies in her life becoming public. She has done countless television and print interviews in which she described her fears and relief and the "confidence it gave young women". Brennan has since added a new chapter to the book, in which she shares her thoughts on first publishing it.[2]

German print

The book has been published in German, titled Mein Irisches Leben. Die Autobiographie der Sängerin von 'Clannad', Und Schwester von Enya. – My Irish Life. The Autobiography of the Voice of Clannad and Sister of Enya.[1] Brennan has expressed anger with the publishing company in Germany for using Enya's name on the cover.[3] The book was also briefly published in the Netherlands.
