Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This collection of loosely connected stories revolving around an ageing feudal landowner, his servants, manager and extended family was a New York Times bestseller and won numerous awards, not without good reason.

As a debut collection, it is an astonishingly mature achievement that showcases the complexity and dexterity of the art of short storytelling.

The stories are as disturbing as they are compelling, often drawing the eye to those darker corners of the mind, whether the narrator is speaking from the top of the feudal order or the bottom.
