Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Aged just five, Saroo Brierley was separated from his family in India when he boarded a train that took him 1,500 km from his hometown. After weeks surviving alone on the streets of Calcutta, he was eventually adopted by an Australian couple.
As an adult, Saroo couldn't help but think about the family he'd lost. Years later, he swapped the map of India on his wall for Google Earth, scouring it for landmarks he knew from his childhood. One day, he saw something he recognised and set off on a journey to find his mother....

In my top 5 books. Unmissable!
Brilliantly narrated. This story will stay with me forever. You simply must listen to Saroo Brierley’s incredible story. I listened to this life story unable to stop; I was carried along with the detailed narrative beautifully interpreted. 10 out of 10. A movie in the making perhaps.

Jaw dropping story 5-Star
Possibly my favourite Audible book yet.
A simply incredible story and a lovely expansion of the film which I suspect will be many people’s route to this audiobook.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.

What an inspiring story
I have probably watched the movie about 5 times and already then I fell in love with the story, but now when I've heard the book I love the story even more. I'm just getting ready to hear it for the second time 😍

My favourite story
Such an inspiring story which is both well written and read. I’ve listened to this on repeat. It’s hard to find a good narrator but this is one I will fall asleep to.
