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.A writer unafraid of unsexy subject matter - her debut was about octogenarian married life - Dean sets her second novel in Belfast during the Troubles. Switching between the lives of Kathleen Moran, a Catholic mother of four, and John Dunn, a British soldier turned prison officer, Dean examines the ways in which men and women disengage during times of conflict.
In a novel that firmly places sectarian violence in a domestic context, Dean paints memorable vignettes of old men arrested in their cardies, and children caught in the tea-time crossfire.
