'Candid and compelling, blazes onto the page with life and hope' Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self

'Moving and insightful' - Rosanna Davison


Remarkably honest, brutally heroic and darkly humorous memoir following a devastating diagnosis of early onset Parkinson's disease.


Twitch
is a frank and funny memoir about picking up the pieces when personal tragedy hits. In 2021, Irish Examiner columnist, stylist, author and podcaster Annmarie O'Connor was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease, an incurable neurodegenerative condition broadly affecting movement and mental health. Though she is no longer working as a stylist as part of her career due to Parkinson's complications, Twitch outlines her journey from a life-altering diagnosis to becoming an activist and agent of change.

Annmarie O'Connor is a bestselling author and fashion editor. In December 2021, she was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease - a progressive, degenerative brain disorder with no cure, broadly affecting movement and mental health. Brought up in the United States, she now lives in Cork and is a regular columnist with the Irish Examiner.
