“I only lie about love.”
For eleven years, Provat has sat on the second step of an old post office annexe behind Kolkata’s College Street, putting other people’s feelings into words. With an ink-filled Horlicks bottle and a wooden plank across his knees, he has penned over five hundred love letters for strangers—without ever writing one for himself.
Until Tarun arrives.
Desperate to court Shrabani—a quiet, perceptive woman who watches the world from her window—Tarun pays Provat to craft his love letters. But Shrabani doesn't just read the words on the page; she sees right through them. As their correspondence deepens, Provat stops writing Tarun’s thoughts and begins pouring his own hidden heart onto the paper.
She falls in love with the letters. But who is she truly falling in love with?
What happens when the woman you love writes back to a ghost?
When Shrabani demands to meet the man behind the pen, Provat faces a devastating choice: step out from the shadows and ruin three lives, or keep silent and lose the only woman who has ever truly seen him.
If I Had One More Chance is an exquisite, atmospheric novella about secret longing, second chances, and the words that linger long after the paper is folded away.
Will he claim his own story before the ink runs dry?
