Damani is a rideshare driver in London, exhausted by work, financial pressure, and the quiet violence of everyday life. When she meets Jolene, a wealthy white woman who seems to offer attention, desire, and escape, Damani is drawn into a relationship shaped by power, class, race, and resentment. What begins as intimacy quickly becomes something darker and more volatile.

Fast-paced, sharp, and unsettling, Your Driver Is Waiting is a debut novel that confronts contemporary inequalities without softening their edges. Priya Guns combines social satire with psychological intensity, creating a story that is both propulsive and deeply uncomfortable, asking how anger is formed, where it is directed, and who ultimately pays the price.
