`Telling my story of first, surviving genocide and then, as a captive of ISIS is not easy, but people must know.' The remarkable and courageous story of Nadia Murad, a twenty-three-year-old Yazidi woman who is working with Amal Clooney to challenge the world to fight ISIS on behalf on her people.

With a foreword by Amal Clooney

A Nobel Peace Prize nominee and the first Goodwill Ambassador the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking of the United Nations and winner of the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize, Nadia Murad is a courageous young woman who has endured unimaginable tragedy (losing eighteen members of her family) and degradation through sexual enslavement to ISIS. But she has fought back.

Her book is sobering - and an inspiration
A harrowing memoir... Intricate in historical context... The Last Girl leaves readers with urgent, incendiary questions

If you are wondering about what is happening in the Middle East and why, this account will fill a major missing piece. I think we call owe it to souls like Nadia, to listen to what she's been through and heed her testament, if you dream of anything like lasting peace.

well read. great performance but I think most importantly is how it tells of struggle for survival and also encountering humanity at its worst. loved this book, at first I was apprehensive because I thought it would be too heavy but there is a good balance between the history or iraq, politics & religion and the story of Nadia.

Her story represents one of so many heartbreaking, soul destroying stories that need to be told. I’m glad to hear that she was allowed to speak in Canada following the woke campaign to try and stop her. It took courage to tell your story!

In a way it does not feel right to review this book. The story is tragic and one could only wish things described in this account will never happen again.
