Autobiography, 1st edition, Michael Joseph UK, 1980.
The popular Irish harpist and singer recounts her childhood, the death of her husband, the twelve years she spent in a monastery, and the subsequent revival of her career. The heart of her story is the unique relationship she had with Richard Selig and the tragedy that befell them. I thought I would be most interested in this book because she was a famous harpist, but ultimately it is more of a tribute to her husband. He did not have time in his short life to reach his potential as a writer or poet, but how wonderful it is that her book has memorialized him so beautifully when he could not achieve this for himself. Her decision to enter the convent because of her lost interest in all worldly affairs after Selig’s death is devastating to read about.
