Background on the Author
Mitch Albom has made a significant impact on readers worldwide through his profound storytelling. He recently attended the Writer’s Symposium By The Sea in February 2025, where he led a writing workshop and showcased his musical talents. Following that experience, he expressed a strong desire to return to the university for the release of “Twice,” which aligns with his commitment to engaging with his audience and readers.
Theme Exploration
In “Twice,” Albom employs a magical element that allows characters to explore various “what if” scenarios, thereby inviting readers to reflect on their own life choices. However, amid the imaginative narrative, the author underscores the importance of understanding that second attempts do not guarantee success or happiness. This aspect of the novel aims to foster a deeper understanding of love and redemption which Albom considers essential topics for contemporary readers.
The novel, consisting of 362 pages, is set to be published by Harper. Albom’s writing process often involves selecting significant themes, which he then develops into stories that resonate with universal aspirations for connection and personal growth. “Twice” continues this tradition, expanding on the ideas he has previously explored while maintaining his characteristic blend of heartfelt narration and introspection.
Anticipation for the Release
