Political tumult, memory, Malaysia's shadowed past.

If you're intrigued by the interplay of personal memories and national history, you'll find "THE LAST DAYS" compelling. It delves into the complexities of Malaysia's political landscape through intimate storytelling. As you follow the characters' interwoven lives, you're not just reading fiction; you're peeling back the layers of a country at a critical juncture, which might reshape how you view history and its lingering effects. It's evocative and enlightening, especially if you're interested in Southeast Asian history or enjoy narratives that blend the political with the personal.

Description

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.
