Ali Millar was born and raised in the Scottish Borders, and now lives in England with her husband and four children. She has an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing from Edinburgh Napier University, and has worked as a cultural producer for Summerhall in Edinburgh, for whom she has interviewed dozens of writers including Marina Warner, Rachel Cusk, Emma Jane Unsworth, and Etgar Keret. She has also chaired events at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
A coming-of-age story like no other, The Last Days is about finding
voice through desire, authentic connection and creative expression.
It sings with the strength and bravery it takes to step away from
what has defined you, particularly when those you love follow a
different truth. A searingly honest memoir.
*Lily Dunn*
I loved this book. It's a thing of beauty. Ali Millar pulls you
heart first through an extraordinary life, somehow making sense of
an experience that should make no sense at all. A sublime
talent.
*David Whitehouse*
I so admired this powerful memoir about Millar's courageous journey
to free herself from the ties that bound her. A must for anyone who
loved Tara Westover's Educated.
*The Bookseller*
A beautifully written memoir about how we hide our true selves to
fit in. I could not stop turning the pages. Millar's story will
resonate with anyone who has felt lost without a voice. Loved
it.
*Jodie Chapman, author of Another Life*
Poetically unpeels the layers of fear and shame built into the
psyche of children who are raised as Witnesses.
*The Telegraph*
This is a dam-burst of a book... so gracious and deft, so carefully
weighted, so tender yet flinty, so cinematic and earthed
*Caught By the River*
A powerful story... consistently gripping
*Books From Scotland*
