1981, Kuala Lumpur. An aging Communist revolutionary arrives in the hazy heart of the capital while the country lurches towards a political turning point; a time marked by protests, clandestine arrests and media suppression.

A woman known only as H agrees to document his story and her dangerous task is complicated by the fragmented memories of her family’s own complicity during the violent days of the Emergency. As a silent assassin closes in, their lives become steadily intertwined as Malaysia’s own history - and future - becomes unrecognisable.

The Last Days, the second novel by William Tham Wai Liang, cuts through the murky layers of history to explore how our stories disappear and become realigned in unexpected and shattering ways.

This book has been giving me mixed feelings with its intriguing story and the ending definitely broke me. It is easy to understand, if you love political fiction of some sort, I would suggest this book!

Set in two historical eras, the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) and Communist Insurgency in Malaysia (1968-1989), The Last Days tells the stories of two protagonists. Great information and knowledge to explore.
