Twice Upon a Time is a poignant, slow-burn romance that weaves fate, memory, and emotion into an unforgettable narrative. When Evara, an introverted Indian MBBS student in the UK, crosses paths with Aurelio Romano, a charismatic Italian business tycoon, neither expects their worlds to subtly collide. What begins as a chance encounter at a university event stirs something long-buried in Aurelio-a childhood memory of a girl by a fountain, a fleeting moment of comfort that never quite left him. But Evara remembers nothing of that day. As they circle each other in stolen glances and witty conversations, an invisible thread tugs them closer, even as secrets from the past remain buried. Told through dual perspectives, the novel explores identity, destiny, and rediscovery, with a mysterious blog and poetic exchanges deepening their bond before either of them fully understands why. Twice Upon a Time is not just a love story-it's a story of souls recognizing each other long before the mind catches up.
