About this product

Product Information

NOMINATED FOR SIX OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE, SUPPORTING ACTOR AND SUPPORTING ACTRESS . . . Aged just five, Saroo Brierley lost all contact with his family in India, after waiting at a train station for his brother who never returned. Discover the inspiring, true story behind the film, Lion. This is the heart breaking and original tale of the lost little boy who found his way home twenty-five years later. ----------------------------------- As a five-year old in India, I got lost on a train. Twenty-five years later, I crossed the world to find my way back home. Five-year-old Saroo lived in a poor village in India, in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings... until the day he boarded a train alone and got lost. For twenty-five years. This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those twenty-five years. How he ended up on the streets of Calcutta. And survived. How he then ended up in Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie. And how, at thirty years old, with some dogged determination, a heap of good luck and the power of Google Earth, he found his way back home. Lion is a triumphant true story of survival against all odds and a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures. ----------------------------------- 'Amazing stuff' The New York Post 'So incredible that sometimes it reads like a work of fiction' Winnipeg Free Press (Canada) 'A remarkable story' Sydney Morning Herald Review 'I literally could not put this book down. Saroo's return journey will leave you weeping with joy and the strength of the human spirit' Manly Daily (Australia) 'We urge you to step behind the headlines and have a read of this absorbing account...With clear recollections and good old-fashioned storytelling, Saroo...recalls the fear of being lost and the anguish of separation' Weekly Review (Australia)

    The amazing story of a childs resilience.

    The book was as good as new. Of course it wouldn't have mattered as long as it was readable, and I didn't buy it for it's condition, I bought it for the story inside. I had already seen the film, which was a real eye opener on aspects of India that a foreigner is usually not aware of, and the story of this small child who survived such a devastating blow to his life at such a young age. the book puts flesh onto the bones of the story, and it was nice that the copy i received was in such good order. Books are so expensive to buy new, especially the amount I read. So I always buy my books this way.

  • Must read

    A true story of courage and resilience that is unputdownable. It so incredible it would be hard to believe as fiction. This is a truly heart warming tale of a young child of 5 who survives the ordeal of crossing India alone and lost without food or money and finally forced to live on the streets at horrific risk.

  • A must read

    If you've seen the film and were blown away by the experience, then you must read the complete story from the man himself (whose name meant Lion). Incredibly moving. Incredibly inspiring. I'd love to know what happened to some of the characters he encountered along the way (as would he). I bought two copies of this book for two people I know will appreciate the full story.

  • Heart rending story

    I read this book in an afternoon,simply could not put it down. How a five year old survived all this was beyond me. Brilliantly written with vivid descriptions. A totally absorbing read.
