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.

Babies, interior design and country living: Katie Fforde's tenth romantic novel taps into several key nesting fantasies. It only takes the arrival of a man to upset the emotional feng shui. Ellie Summer is a young photographer who finds herself pregnant. Grace Souldley is a depressed divorcee, the owner of a large, but uncomfortable Georgian house. Ellie needs a home, and Grace needs a lodger. Instead of falling for each other over the Farrow and Ball paint pots, they call in the services of a Rayburn- installing Irish handy man. The promise of solid fuel proves irresistible.

Agas might be history, but Fforde's storytelling skills are reassuringly classic. EH
