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.Tillyard tries her hand at historical fiction with a Regency romance set during the Peninsular war.
Newly-married Harriet Raven is left in London while her husband James sets off to join Wellington's troops in Spain.
While Harriet finds herself experimenting with the new freedoms of the age, James falls into the arms of a Spanish double-agent with an alluring lisp.
A bodice-ripping romance this isn't, but in Tillyard's safe hands the real-life players of the Napoleonic era spring to life – including Nathan Rothschild, Goya and Girodet.
