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.

Sophie Hannah's enjoyable third novel puts the fizz back into the relationship saga, especially the kind involving ageing singletons on the verge of marriage. For a start, her characters aren't the usual round up of media popsies – Pennines-based and Cambridge-educated, this set of friends includes an analytical philosopher (specialising in Vagueness), a soap story-line editor and a clean-living couple whose approaching wedding is causing havoc. Hannah's comic gift for unraveling the relationship maze makes the complexities of domestic life interesting again.
