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.

The final volume in Harris’s Chocolat trilogy finds witchy heroine, Vianne Rocher, returning to Lansquenet-sous-Tannes.

Since her last visit, a new North African community has sprung up and a minaret now graces the skyline. Father Reynaud, Vianne’s one time adversary, is facing dissent within his flock.

As a wave of xenophobic intolerance sweeps across France, Vianne finds herself coming to the cure’s aid. As ever feast and famine, magic and mysticism are at the heart of Harris’s storytelling. Fans won’t be disappointed by this freshly minted confection.
