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.A novel claimed to be by Charlotte Bronte is likely to be published in the United States in the autumn, it emerged yesterday. The world English- language rights to the novel Sarah Miles have been bought by the publishers Random House for an undisclosed sum.
"I am absolutely delighted," said Ian King, an Edinburgh book seller who has spent a year studying the novel. "It is definitely Charlotte Bronte - the evidence is convincing. I spent a year studying it, and it's pretty rock-solid." Giles Gordon, literary agent Mr King, said the book had already been published once in the US in 1990 under the title Miss Miles and in the name of Mary Taylor. It was written around 1845 - about 10 years before Charlotte Bronte's death. Many literary experts are reserving judgement until they see the book, discovered when Mr King came across an 1890 copy of Miss Miles by Mary Taylor. Jojo Moyes
