Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley (2014, Hardcover)

A Long Way Home

This is a great book. It has even been made into a movie, titled "Lion." It' s the fascinating story of a five-year-old boy in India who gets separated from his brother. The little one gets whisked away, alone and afraid, on a train he gets on to look for his older brother. He is separated from his family for the next 26 years! He is adopted by a couple in Australia who is very good to him. However, the day comes when he starts to wonder about his birth family. He remembers certain things about his childhood, even though his life changed dramatically at a very tender age. The writing in this book is great and it's a terrific story. It certainly demonstrates the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Great book. I loved it. Now I'm going to donate my copy to my local library so others can read it.Vollständige Rezension lesen

The Memory Keeper

That a very young child should have such powerful memory is almost beyond belief! I read this book quickly and still marvel that it was a true story. The fact that his adoptive parents were so intuitive is also amazing. Perhaps having an early childhood that made him responsible for a sibling and also for finding food to exist caused this impressive memory. His persistence truly paid off.Vollständige Rezension lesen
