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.Jojo Moyes likes to explore new territory in every novel. Her latest heroine Lou Clark, knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop. But then she loses her job and finds herself applying for a position as a carer to a young paraplegic.
Her new charge, former city financier, Will Traynor, is confined to a wheel-chair after a tragic road accident and spends his days watching foreign language films.
Where Lou is sunny and sociable, Will is depressed and sarcastic. As Will's defences start to crumble, the two negotiate a more meaningful friendship. It's a compelling portrait of an unlikely couple that is less about disability than emotional accommodation.
