Publisher's Summary

Winner of the Irish Book Awards’ Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year.

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.

This is a very personal - at times very funny, at times deeply moving - book from an iconic figure in popular music.

What the critics say

One of Joseph O’Connor’s books of the year: "the work of a writer with a real feeling for language and the nuances of a story." (Sunday Independent)

"A singular voice that tells a tale both frighteningly honest and funny." (Liam Collins, Sunday Independent)

"A book that I really, really enjoyed – and that I was surprised by. It’s quite a literary memoir...an exercise in coming to terms with and making sense of life and mortality following the loss of her beloved father...a reflection on a journey with her siblings that most of us can’t even imagine through the music industry. It’s also musings and meditations on family, creativity and music. There’s a lot of love in it, and a lot of hope. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. [Corr has] a really unique voice." (Róisín Ingle, Irish Times Women’s Podcast)

A wonderfully poetic tale

Intimate, inspirational and beautifully told.
Andrea lives every word, weaving in and out of narrative and lyrical prose with grace, letting the listener watch as memories unfold to build a story of a life brick by brick while laughing, singing and crying along the way. Great insight and a memorable performance.

Incredible Journey

Andrea Corr shares her memories of her family with incredible vulnerability. I was along for the ride and was with her for each memorable occasion, laughed with her and cried. Loved The Corrs for awhile and have gained an even great appreciation for how they came to be, who helped mold them and what they survived along the way.

Loved this book, wonderful heartfelt journey indeed.

A profound personal memoir

A profound personal memoir that documents her family life and musical career, Andrea shares the joys, struggles and triumphs of her personal journey through her faith and spiritual lens. The prose and personal narration are lyrical and poetic with philosophical questions and emotions, wit and humour and through this voice, allows us to connect with the most deeply personal and intimate experiences.
