The Shadow Girls

Afterword

This is a novel. But Tea-Bag is real. Just like Tanya and Leyla. What their actual names are doesn’t matter. What matters is their story.

Many people have helped me along the way. Many impressions, feelings and unfinished stories have been woven into these pages.

Many people have taken up the cause. To all of them I owe my thanks.

Henning Mankell, September 2001
