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.Goldman's novel is based on his wife's death after a surfing accident. He lost Aura Estrada just four years after having found the love of his life, shortly after her 30th birthday.
In an attempt to make sense of a senseless tragedy, his central character casts back to their first meeting, the ardour of their passion and the injustice of losing her (not just his own but also her mother's rancour).
It is partly a life story about the departed and partly a story about the ones left behind. Blurring lines between fiction and memoir, every emotion resonates with authenticity through its exhilarating, devastating and reflective turns.
