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 assured psychodrama by a young South London writer is brimming with entertaining thrills. Louise has always blamed her mother's death on a failed love affair.
Determined to track down the man responsible for her parent's misery, she heads to Oxford, where she starts to pursue a middle-aged English tutor called Nicholas. In a book as menacaing as any crime novel, Rebecca Connell spins a complex tale of domestic betrayal, allowing both stalker and seducer their own version of the same events. As ever, provincial Oxford provides a deceptively cosy backdrop to some deliciously cold-blooded calculations.
