During his Google Earth search, he would often spend five to seven hours at a time on his computer, and even still it took him eight months of searching almost daily before he found his home. It shows this when he is on the streets of Calcutta and suffered many setbacks everyday and when he is in Australia searching for his home on Google Earth.

One example of how great his description of emotions is is when he first meets his mother when he finds his home. This book is the story of what happened in between.Īs Saroo shares his amazing account of his early life, we can clearly see that some of his story’s strengths are his description of emotion, great similes, and how well it shows the author’s perseverance. Later, he finds himself as an adopted child in Hobart, Australia, and then, twenty-five years after getting lost, he finds his way back home with the help of Google Earth. Then he got lost on a train, and found himself as an uneducated child stranded on the streets of Calcutta. Saroo Brierley was born in a poor village in Khandwa, India, where he lived with his siblings and mother for five years in a small one room hut.
