____________________ '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
... brings home the terrible human consequences of war. Caroline
Brothers' stark, unsentimental novel is one everyone should read' -
Daily Mail 'Intensely evocative ... The emotional as well as
geographical borderlands are sensitively delineated in this
visceral and moving debut' - Independent ____________________ The
inspiration for Flight, the stunning play coming to the Bridge
Theatre, from the creatives behind Harry Potter and the Cursed
Child ____________________ 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.
