Feels good to meet you with a wonderful book to begin your new year with, and I'm sure you'll really love this.

      Albom is a confessional writer: his writings form the product of his inner self which is highly influenced by everything around him. Once on the way back to the airport, Albom stopped for a coffee and wandered over the fields nearby. He froze on looking at a tanned, wrinkled man; with a half cigar in his mouth—Chick Benetto [called “Charles”/“Charley” in the story], a former baseball player who made it to the World Series. What Albom has written in For One More Day is what Charley told him during their conversation that morning. The technique adapted in the story is in the form of first person narrative; and is told from Charley’s point of view, so as to make the readers feel they are listening to the story in the narrator’s voice.   

       For One More Day’s Charley is a broken man who takes a midnight ride to his small hometown with plans to kill himself. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers into his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery—his mother who deceased eight years earlier appears to be still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened. For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: what would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? It’s all about chance; if you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it? Charley got answer for all his queries and qualms in the chance given to him; he was made to see the invisible, believe the unbelievable, and receive the impossible. At the end of the mysterious day spent with the spirit of his mother, Charley relearnt that love triumphs over everything. Mitch Albom’s writings will never fail in appealing to your senses leaving you moved with tears. In fact you will try to byheart certain lines and keep telling it to yourself to feel the depth of emotions. And it does make you question your own self and look at things in an unusual lens.

       “Death ends a life, not a relationship.” If you believe in it, you’d hardly take a couple of days to finish this book. The success of For One More Day propelled Oprah Winfrey to adapt it into a movie. Now, will it propel you to read?

Happy reading!
