First it was a media sensation. Then it became the New York Times bestseller and #1 international bestseller A Long Way Home. Now it's Lion, the major motion picture starring Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, and Rooney Mara-nominated for six Academy Awards!
This is the miraculous and triumphant story of Saroo Brierley, a young man who used Google Earth to rediscover his childhood life and home in an incredible journey from India to Australia and back again...
At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Unable to read or write or recall the name of his hometown or even his own last name, he survived alone for weeks on the rough streets of Calcutta before ultimately being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia.
Despite his gratitude, Brierley always wondered about his origins. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he had the opportunity to look for the needle in a haystack he once called home, and pore over satellite images for landmarks he might recognize or mathematical equations that might further narrow down the labyrinthine map of India. One day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off to find his family.
A Long Way Home is a moving, poignant, and inspirational true story of survival and triumph against incredible odds. It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit: hope.

I watched the movie first and liked it so much that I waited 3 years until I read the novel as well. I can highly recommend both. The story is unbelievable, yet true. A kid getting tragically lost from one day to another in India made me suffer extremely with him. I liked the first half much better, but the second half of the story needs to be told and I wouldn't want to miss or shorten it as it is quite important how Saroo is searching for his family and what he feels and endures.

Eigentlich bin ich jemand, der ziemlich ungern liest. Dieses Buch liebe ich aber sehr! Es ist eine wahre Lebensgeschichte, die einen echt mitnimmt auf die Reise des Protagonisten. Ich empfehle jedem einzelnen dieses Buch !!! Man lernt für das Leben und nimmt somit nicht alles für ganz so selbstverständlich, wie wir es sonst in so einer Welt nehmen.
