Críticas:
"Mankell writes with both a social conscience and great humour...it is both passionate and entertaining, and a strong indication that the Swedes are not as lugubrious as their crime fiction makes them out to be" (Sarah Crompton Daily Telegraph)
"Three girls escaping horror and hardship to make new lives in Sweden become the inspiration for troubled poet Jesper. But Mankell is too clever and cunning an author to go down any predictable path. Inspirational" (Henry Sutton Daily Mirror)
"This quirky offering sets out to tackle the weighty topics of immigration and how refugees affect Swedish society" (Doug Johnston Independent on Sunday)
"Mankell is giving a voice to those who do not possess one. Some may feel that there are two kinds of novel here, which remain obstinately heterogeneous. But such is Mankell’s skill that we surrender to whatever mode the book settles into – and it might be argued that the comic sugaring of the pill in The Shadow Girls makes the hidden agenda all the more potent" (Barry Forshaw Independent)
"As we are drawn into the shadow world of immigrant life in Sweden, Mankell’s blend of comedy and moving drama provides a voice for those who lose theirs on their journey from oppression to imagined freedom; freedom which is often transient and blighted with prejudice and racism" (Irish Examiner)
