Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the wake of Myanmar's 2021 military coup, a journey that began as an adventure quickly spirals into a profound exploration of resilience and truth. Lydia, a young woman from London, arrives in Yangon in 2020, eager to start a new life filled with fresh beginnings and discovery. As she begins volunteering with a local charity, she finds herself deeply moved by the stories of the people she meets and the challenges they face. However, on the first day of February 2021, a sudden power and internet blackout signals the start of something sinister, revealing the harsh realities of a nation grappling with a history of oppression. This book is a heartfelt testament to the voices silenced by oppression, a call to remember the struggles of those who endure. With each page, readers are invited to delve deeper into the complexities of Myanmar's history and the ongoing fight for freedom. "Red Moons and Silent Truths is a fascinating account of a young British teacher who arrived in Myanmar during the COVID-19 lockdowns. We experienced such different periods of this country's recent history. I can only hope there is a third book that comes along one day with an entirely different ending that sees peace and democracy for the people of Myanmar"-Jessica Mudditt, Author of Our Home in Myanmar and founder of Hembury Books
