Her book received a highly positive review in the August/September 2021 issue of The Lamp magazine.
Following the presentation, Shabnam would be very open to a follow-up interview with ‘In The Cove’. She is prepared to speak openly about the current situation regarding her family still living in Iran and to share her perspective on supporting regime change there.
Her book is also available in the local Lane Cove “Bookery” bookstore.

Thank you very much for your time and your continued support of local voices in our community.
