Tanya has made a dangerous journey from Eastern Europe to escape the misery of life in a brothel. Leyla, the only girl who lives in Sweden legally, has travelled with her family from Iran. All of them are facing different challenges in their new home.Meanwhile, celebrated poet Jesper Humlin is looking for inspiration. Harried by his mother and girlfriend, misunderstood by his publisher and tormented by his stockbroker, Jesper needs a new perspective on life.A chance encounter with Tea-Bag leads him into the shadow world of the immigrant experience in Sweden. Initially he sees the girls purely as material for his next work, but he soon discovers that they have very different ideas about what role he will play in their lives.In The Shadow Girls, Henning Mankell tells the extraordinary stories of three young women who are determined to overcome the hardships they face to take control of their own lives. This inspiring novel encompasses both humour and tragedy and illuminates our understanding of those left on the margins of society.
