Lion: A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley

5.0

Life affirming

A story of a 5 year old boy swept away in the chaos of India, adrift, homeless on the streets of Kolkata. A story of humanity and humility. Adopted and growing up in Australia, Saroo remains faithful to his Indian beginnings and his family he lost. And starts an imprbable search to reunite with his birth mother and his family, despite being uncertain where exactly he came from.
A story told with simplicity and honesty.
Miracles do happen. There is goodness in people.
Fate...destiny.
A remarkable story and a life affirming book.
