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.

作者真的是一个很幸运的人

"But my experiences have undoubtedly shaped who I am today, providing me with unshakeable faith in the importance of family ——however it is formed——and a belief in the goodness of people and the importance of grasping opportunities as they are presented. " ——写得非常好，非常简单真挚。毕竟是自己的故事啊！主人公的秉性真好。

毕竟不是科班出身，只是一个离奇故事的简述者，所以，读来还算顺畅。电影里的Saroo太帅，以至于看到真人还真有点。。反差过于大了。。

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。
