English term or phrase: In the last life
Context : '' In the last life, I cannot return to my beloved homeland. The non-religious nasty thugs, his bodyguards, the police, the gendarmerie follow to kill without mercy like other previous heroes. ''

It's an extract from a document.

How to interpret this little expression ?

Thank you

Explanation:
"the last life" could sound like a book title (also that 'heroes'), could it be Claire Messud's 'The Last Life'?

"The Last Life (1999)
- traduit en français sous le titre La Vie après"
