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.Carrie Bradshaw, for many Sex and the City fans, is now indistinguishable from Sarah Jessica Parker, so overpowering is the success of the HBO series. For that reason, an 18-year-old Carrie, in this prequel, is hard to imagine.
We meet her as she arrives in New York to attend writing classes at the New School, whereupon she meets the rest of the "girls": first Samantha (who is engaged), then Miranda (a strident feminist picketing outside Saks) and finally Charlotte on the final page.
While it is aimed as a teen read, it veers into SATC mode at times, and despite its bubble and energy, it has a touch of the interminable franchise.
