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.We first met the dysfunctional Walsh family in Keyes's zingy 1995 debut novel Watermelon.
Four of the five sisters have now appeared in their own novels, and Keyes's fan base will be delighted to catch up with the youngest, Helen.
Now in her thirties, this whip-smart misfit has become a Dublin private investigator. As she snoops for clues in her latest case she entertains with her easy chat, humorous insights and updates to her Shovel List: "all the people and things I hate so much... I want to hit them in a face with a shovel."
Keyes's long reign as The Queen of Chick Lit continues.
