David - The Waiting Room

By Xander Hanson

Brighton, 1986.
David Vintner is twenty-one, living in a seaside cottage with his closest friends, Al and Ri-a chosen family bound by laughter, secrets, and the fragile hope of a future that feels possible at last. But when a single phone call shatters that illusion, David is thrust into a world of hospital corridors, whispered fears, and headlines screaming about a new and deadly virus.

As the AIDS crisis tightens its grip, David faces a truth he can no longer outrun. While Al chases long-lost roots on the other side of the world and Ri struggles to hold everything together, David carries a secret that could break them all.

David: The Waiting Room is a powerful, heart-wrenching novel about love, loyalty, and survival in a decade when silence could kill. Perfect for fans of It's a Sin and Call Me By Your Name, this story will stay with you long after the last page.
