'Why am I like this?' is the kind of question you might ask yourself after crying on the phone to your mother from Dollywood because you think you're going to jail for the rest of your life. Or after starting a rumour about the Luas because you were bored that resulted in being personally listed on the Luas Wikipedia page under the heading 'Incidents and criticism'. (You may say to yourself, these are things unlikely to happen to anyone. They have both happened to Carl Kinsella.) Here, attempts to solve the great human mystery of why we are the way we are...

Everyone told Sinead that having a newborn was a beautiful kind of delirium - a hazy blur of broken sleep and exhaustion, wrapped in euphoria. A life-changing love. Sinead spent every day of her traumatic pregnancy clinging to that sliver of light in the dark. But when Vivie arrived, there was no euphoria, no life-altering love. And nine days after giving birth, Sinead was admitted to the Mother & Baby Unit at Starship Hospital in the grips of severe postnatal depression.

Once upon a time, there was a tower on a hill, beyond the dark trees, somewhere north. An octagonal tower on two levels: glass upstairs and stone below, beneath a steep slate roof – a folly, it was said.
