The Last Days by Ali Millar

It is 1982 and in the Kingdom Hall we are Jehovah's Witnesses. The state of the world shows us the end is close, and Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking to devour us.
A very good insight into what life and the expectation of growing up as the child of a Jehovah Witness .
I felt Ali captured and gave us a real feel on how it all affected her.
Well written .

Wow, what an emotive book that was to read. There is a Kingdom hall not far from where I like and you've always wondered what goes on behind closed doors - this book certainly gives you the answers, and answers that now I know the answer to, I will give it a wide berth. You have to hand it to the author for wanting a life outside of being a Witness and their rules/lifestyle even if it has come at a huge personal loss.

This is a staggering work, lyrical and devastating, yet hopeful. How Millar has captured her voice through the different stages of her memories is awe-inspiring. Setting the absolute case for keeping children free from religious ideologies because of the damage they do, this has to be the non-fiction book of 2022.
