Now, decades later, Saroo will be reunited with a woman he’s never for a day forgotten.Īnd so we begin the story of Saroo’s journey, starting with his life in India, a life where he knew desperate poverty and where getting something to eat was a daily struggle. He leaves, comes back, then tells Saroo to follow him: I will take you to see your mother.
Passersby join up and a man, hearing the names, tells Saroo to wait. Does she know where his family is? He’s back he wants desperately to find his family.
Speaking to a woman trying to help him, a woman who speaks very broken English which helps as he’s pretty much forgotten Hindi, all he can do is repeat the names of his mother, his brothers, his sister, and point to himself and say his name, gesturing with a sheet of photos of him as a very little boy. But where is his family? He shoulda known they’d be gone it’s been years after all. It’s empty and vacant, and it’s oooooh soooo smaller and more shabby than he remembers.
#A long way home audiobook how to#
Plus, does he know how to start a book or what?!?Ī Long Way Home opens with him as a young man, in India, outside the home he last knew. I s’pose I can give author Saroo Brierley a pass on his writing skills as he’s a new author. Not the most stellar writing in the world, but GOSH what a story!!! By: Saroo Brierley / Narrated By: Vikas Adam
