She held the hands of so many men. She lost them, and remembered them, and somehow kept going' Russell T Davies, creator of Channel 4's IT'S A SIN \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Jill Nalder arrived at drama school in London in the early 1980s, she was ready for her life to begin. With her band of best friends - of which many were young, talented gay men with big dreams of their own - she grabbed London by the horns: partying with drag queens at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, hosting cabarets at her glamorous flat, flitting across town to one gig after another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut soon rumours spread from America about a frightening illness being dubbed the 'gay flu', and Jill and her friends - spirited Juan Pablo, Jae with his beautiful voice, upbeat Dursley, and many others - found their formerly carefree existence now under threat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this moving memoir, IT'S A SIN's Jill Nalder tells the true story of her life during the AIDS crisis, and that of friends and colleagues, doctors and nurses, activists and fundraisers. She recounts juggling a busy West End career while campaigning for AIDS awareness and research, educating herself and caring for the sick. Most of all, she shines a light on those who were stigmatised and shamed, and remembers those brave and beautiful boys who were lost too soon.","brand":"Wildfire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45165847281815,"sku":"9781472288431","price":1131.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472288431.webp?v=1769207352","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/love-from-the-pink-palace-memories-of-love-loss-and-cabaret-through-the-aids-crisis-9781472288431","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
