Our latest episode is for all the It’s A Sin fans out there. That spectacular show won our hearts and was celebrated by the Literary Salon and almost a thousand of you at a virtual event starring its screenwriter/producer Russell T Davies.

So now we’re absolutely thrilled to bring you a reading from ‘the real life Jill’! Jill Nalder shares her new memoir – Love From the Pink Palace – which tells the true story of her and her friends’ lives during the AIDS crisis. Jill juggled 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.

‘Jill met the crisis head on… She held the hands of so many men. She lost them, and remembered them, and somehow kept going…’ – RUSSELL T DAVIES

Love From the Pink Palace is published by Headline and available now. We recommend buying from your local indie or you can get it from our shop at Bookshop.org.
