Description

Mary Coughlan's memoir offers a candid and humorous look at her life, from her early struggles with addiction to her experiences as an international jazz singer. The book details her battles with the bottle, suicide attempts, and confinement in psychiatric hospitals, but also tells of how she eventually confronted the foundations of her problems head-on. With a ribald commentary on celebrity culture, Coughlan shares her story, providing insight into an alternative evolution of Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s. Through her journey, Coughlan pulls back the curtain on her personal life, revealing the events that led to a life of rebellion, running away, and reliance on drugs and alcohol.
