Showing Do Not Keep Silent by Anthony Addis

In Hong Kong, people who organise demonstrations get arrested or disappeared. Protest leader Mae Yang knows that. She's been preparing to martyr herself for years.

In Brighton, Pete Anderson drags himself out of an aimless, lost existence and starts his own company. But his girlfriend walks out and his new career demands too much time and effort. Taking a break, he visits Hong Kong and meets Mae. Given the danger she’s in, any relationship between them will be short-lived. Besides, Mae really can’t be seen with an Englishman, the personification of colonialism. Yet time and again, the two are drawn to each other.

When Mae’s protest begins, they face dangerous choices between loyalty, love and freedom.
