A Long Way Home Summary
As an adult, Saroo stands in front of his childhood home in India. He’s in shock: the tiny house is clearly abandoned. A young woman appears out of the next house to help, and Saroo begins to list the people who lived in the house. The woman says they don’t live there anymore. Two other men arrive, and Saroo recites the names of his family members again. One man takes Saroo’s page of childhood photos, disappears for a few minutes, and then returns. He tells Saroo to follow him; he’ll take Saroo to his mother.
Saroo is adopted when he’s six and grows up in Hobart, Tasmania. His Mum pins a map of India to his wall to make Saroo feel at home. Though Saroo has a relatively easy time adjusting to his new life, he does anxiously run through his memories of his Indian family every night. After a while, Saroo begins to talk about his life in India. Mum is flabbergasted when he explains how he became lost and ended up in Calcutta. Together, they draw a map of Saroo’s hometown and the train journey to Calcutta.
