‘BOOK REVIEW: An Act of Defiance by Irene Sabatini’
‘Sabatini unflinchingly examines and lays out the serious consequences of the proverbial ‘Big Man Politics’ and the deeply incrusted corruption and abuses of power within governments such as Zimbabwe’s.’

‘An Act of Defiance by Irene Sabatini’
‘Although there were moments when I was reading this deeply-disturbing story when I almost couldn’t bear to feel exposed to any more descriptions of trauma, violence and terror, the compelling nature of Irene Sabatini’s writing meant that I very quickly felt emotionally engaged with the characters, especially Gabrielle.’
