She Died Young: A Life in Fragments
Autor Brenda Frickeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2026
With humour, honesty and a poetic sensibility, Brenda Fricker traces a life-journey in which her resilience and inner strength shine brightly. With luminous memories of happy summers in Kerry, where she and her sister Gránia got up to hilarious mischief and learned to rebel against Irish orthodoxy, she also explores devastating personal challenges. She talks frankly of her complicated adult relationships. She describes the difficulty of surviving sexual violence and living with mental illness.
Brenda's contributions to theatre, film and television represent an artistic legacy that few can match. Her work in films like The Field, Swann, The Swallow, Home Alone 2 and My Left Foot is widely acclaimed and her character, Megan, in TV series Casualty, was a huge success.
She is the first Irish actress to win an Oscar.

Recenzii
Brenda Fricker's memoir is raw and immediate. I have always admired her acting but never met her. I feel I know her, a little, now.
A truly extraordinary life brilliantly recalled. With writing that manages to be both vivid and dreamlike, it shocks and delights in equal measure.
Anyone who has seen Brenda Fricker on stage or screen will have sensed instinctively the depth of both suffering and strength that lies beneath her remarkable performances. In this searing memoir she lays bare the sources of her physical and psychological anguish. She writes with a directness and honesty that can be as devastating as it is compelling. But in keeping with the extraordinary artistry she has shown throughout her career, she also transforms the pain into a deeply moving and utterly memorable presence. At once fierce, raw, tender and transcendent, She Died Young is book that had to be written and therefore has to be read.
Astonishing.
The legendary Irish actress writes beautifully and poignantly about the often painful childhood that shaped her as a person, her battle with mental illness, late sister Gránia, and of course, her incredible working life over the decades. And yes, okay - there are also a few amusing stories in there, too - all recounted with class and a sprinkling of mischief.
