The book is a translation from the original Swedish by Laurie Thompson who has also translated many of the Inspector Wallander novels for which Mankell is best known. His translation produces some lyrical, evocative prose which it would be difficult to better. ''Depths'' is something of a departure for Mankell, but judging by the quality of this book I expect and hope to see more in a similar vein.
If you think you would enjoy this book you might also enjoy [[The Empire of the Sun]] by J G Ballard or [[Danger is Still Everywhere: Beware of the Dog! Daniel by David O'Doherty and Chris JudgeHenning Mankell]].
This book was sent to Bookbag by the publishers, Harvill Secker.
