Two young boys cross a river in the middle of the night. The river is also a border, and their lives depend on this journey. With nothing but the clothes on their backs, Aryan and his little brother Kabir travel by truck, boat, train, bus and on foot across a Europe they desperately hope will offer them a future they can no longer wait for in Afghanistan. Kabul-Tehran-Istanbul-Athens-Rome-Paris-London--this is the route they cling to, the mantra they repeat in their prayers, and the only option they can see before them.
Hinterland is the story of two ordinary brothers whose courageous gamble brings home the devastating human consequences of war.

"A forceful account of two prototypical lost boys as they hazard ‘the great lottery’ of a journey across Europe. Brothers has the seasoned journalist’s eye for idiosyncratic detail and a sense for the riveting turnabouts that keep readers as off balance as her characters." ―New York Times Book Review
"An illuminating and timely story that highlights the plight of refugees . . . A book that haunts and shames in equal measure." ―Guardian
"This short but heart-wrenching book 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
"Intensely evocative . . . Hinterland harrowingly exposes the hidden world of migrants . . . The emotional as well as geographical borderlands are sensitively delineated in this visceral and moving debut." ―Independent
