What an incredible story.
Saroo was five years old when he got separated from his elder brother at a busy train station in India. He didn't know his surname, his mother's name, or even the town where he lived.
From there, Saroo eventually ended up in Australia after being adopted overseas.
Amazingly, decades later, he found his birth mother.
I remember seeing the film bring promoted years ago, but I'm glad I read the book and got to hear Saroo's account in his own words.
It's really incredible.
Five stars.

Interesting. I did wonder if I should watch the film and based on your comment - I will! :)
