A heart-wrenching story of two young brothers on a long, hard road; a story that all of us should read * Barbara Trapido * Intensely evocative ... [a] visceral and moving debut ... it paints a shocking portrait of some of the most displaced people on Earth ... But these lives linger in the readers' imagination, thanks to the author's skill at depicting their disturbing realities ... In this impressively accomplished novel, Caroline Brothers controls the stylistic border between tenses and perspectives, deftly dipping between the third - and first - person, the past and present -- Anita Sethi * Independent * What most distinguishes this book is the poetic power of the language. The landscape, the weather, the natural world and physical sensations are described with a shocking painterly intensity ... There is poetry on every page, as well as pity, and the poetry is not always in the pity but in the joy of being alive on this earth * Irish Times * Presents us with the tragic reality behind the words 'refugee' and 'asylum-seeker' and brings home the terrible human consequences of war. Caroline Brothers' stark, unsentimental novel is one everyone should read * Daily Mail * Unbearably real ... From the occasional kindness of strangers to the deep strength Aryan and Kabir find within each other, Hinterland is a celebration of the human spirit -- Val Nolan * Irish Examiner *
