All the Ways We Almost Knew Each Other. Life is a Story - story.one

All the Ways We Almost Knew Each Other is a quiet, poetic novel about two boys who keep crossing paths in Oxford without ever speaking. From a bench at Merton College, where they meet as strangers, to short episodes in markets, pubs, and lecture halls, their lives echo each other's. Always near, never quite touching. As time passes, their silent bond deepens, offering a quiet refuge as grief begins to seep into their lives. Amid the timeless charm of Oxfords streets, spires, and hidden corners, the novel unfolds into a luminous meditation on human connection, the unspoken intimacy between strangers, and the invisible threads that bind us to others and to ourselves.
