Happy Dark

In this immersive and brilliantly written memoir, Tara West tells readers about her battle with depression and how she has learnt to cope with it. She makes the darkness visible. She shares insights: those gained through therapy and also those realized about her mother and their relationship. From living in Rathcoole as a teenager and young adult, to working as an advertising executive in Belfast, to living as a young mother in Carrickfergus, Tara recounts the moments of happiness and despair with poignant and beautiful honesty and her trademark black humor."
