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."How tiny and random are the events that shape our destiny". So begins Rachel Hore's intriguing Richard and Judy recommended read, which is layered with a series of mysteries, some more supernatural than others.
Jude, an auctioneer grieving the death of her husband, and hoping to lose herself in an assignment of valuing the collection of Anthony Wickham, a lonely 18th-century astronomer in Norfolk, finds that the task of unravelling his family history takes on a personal, present-day resonance.
Another, more elusive mystery comes in the shape of recurring nightmares experienced by Jude's six-year-old niece, Summer, which turn out to be identical to those that Jude suffered as a child.
