Reviews
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 *
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 *
