Although I don’t read a lot of non-romance novels at the moment, this book based on true event really was one I needed to read.
‘The Orphan Keeper’ is the story of Chellamuthu. The story begins when Chellamuthu is just a little boy, living in poverty with his family in India. Although Chellamuthu is poor, and has to work from a very young age, he is just like other young boys. Chellamuthu is really curious and loves playing with other young boys. Especially when playing with these boys makes him able to get his hands on some fruits. But this also means he is easily distracted and forgets to do the things his parents ask of him. One day, Chellamuthu is playing outside when he is suddenly abducted and taken to a city hours away from his family. Soon Chellamuthu finds himself being adopted by an American family who have no idea he is abducted.
This book was definitely something else.

I loved every word in this book.
The writing is very good and I could easily imagine myself walking besides Chellamuthu. When Chellamuthu was eating those spicy Indian foods, I could almost taste them myself. That’s how good this book was written. The author wrote a lot of details in this book which made it even easier to imagine myself walking beside the characters. And I was really impressed by the authors writing.
