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.

Tassie的朋友和我说，这个印度男主最后adopt到他们那边去了。我说我知道，你看他封面的衣服就知道了。因为男主最后是通过google map找到他老家的，所以google 当时看到后便投资了这部电影。书浅显易懂，个人觉得电影更出彩。

三天看完，很容易就看下来，情节很简单，但是如果设身处地地想如果那个走失的小孩是自己，可能都不能在街头生存下来。

作者真的是一个很幸运的人
