Book Synopsis



2024 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award winner (Independent Book Publishers Association award of excellence)

Editor's Pick, BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly

Indie Books We Love selection, LoveReading, The UK's Leading Book Recommendation Website


After the fairy tale of Happily Ever After ends in heartbreak, what then? From award-winning author River Faire comes an inspiring account of second chances, healing, inexplicable magic, and following the soul's compass.

River, an alternative healer and Paris-trained chef-a decidedly reluctant mystic-returns to England from America to help his ex-partner, back from the brink of death. Stepping into a London life he left behind, haunted by ghosts, he finds himself on an unanticipated journey of the heart. When the two men relocate to the English countryside, he discovers more than a charming pastoral landscape, he unexpectedly glimpses the fabric of life itself.

With disarming honesty and a searching, lyrical voice, Where Two Worlds Touch is a transcendent narrative about navigating the intricacies of the human heart, no matter whom we love. An invitation to say yes to uncertainty and vulnerability, to trust the unknowable mystery of life, while seeking the place we belong and what is uniquely ours to bring. A genre-defying memoir-one part love story, one part celebration of the table, one part ode to nature, and one part soul guide-woven as an indelible offering that lingers long past the final page.



Review Quotes




Editor's Pick "In this entrancing memoir, Faire encapsulates how true love knows no gender. [The author] writes ... as a mindful examination of the heart and soul, and its interconnection with the divine, nature, and mystery ... otherworldly in his careful attention to the dance between the earthly and ethereal with his lush portrayal of England's landscape... not a bird, a lamb, or a fox escapes Faire's attention. ... Readers looking for traditional page-turners may find Faire's memoir elegant but meandering, but this is precisely the book's beauty. Faire can capture the intimacy in the mundanity ... A redemption of the soul, a second chance at love, and pursuit of transcendence despite fear and shame, this memoir explores the unorthodox ways of loving, and how a conscious and mindful relationship is the ultimate relationship worth having." - BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly

Indie Books We Love selection "A celebration of food, nature and the spirit in this lyrical memoir where second chances create an opportunity for healing. ... Everything is described with an artist's keen eye for detail, whether it's an experience of nature or the preparation of a meal. The lyrical and almost meditative storytelling draws you into the moment as though it were a work of fiction. ... [A] really peaceful and charming narrative about embracing the unknown and new opportunities and trusting your intuition." - LoveReading, The UK's Leading Book Recommendation Website

"[A] moving, intensely sensual read. Faire has crafted a work that, while covering some bleak, even elegiac moods, is ultimately uplifting in tone and form. ... [The author] conveys the various sensations associated with life in another country, identity crisis, and the possibility of a second chance at love with verve and feeling. ... a tale of two estranged people rediscovering love ... touching, tender, and hugely affecting." - IndieReader, 4+ stars

"Where Two Worlds Touch is ... Faire's telling of his journey from 'happily ever after' to heartbreak and back again. Few writers have such keen self-awareness as Faire. [He] imbues each paragraph with an almost visceral sense of reality. Faire provides a unique perspective on reading the signs that life places in our path and ultimately following the intricacies of what the heart wants. An illuminating and bittersweet personal story of second chances." - Independent Book Review

"[A] charming and spiritual memoir ... Composed with immediacy and an old-fashioned whimsical tone, the narrative is underpinned with passion ... Faire's descriptions of the natural world are powerful and sensual ... indoors, too, where he delights in descriptions of food and cooking. Throughout the book, he navigates the chasm between the modern world and natural life ... reaching to refine what it means to be human." - Foreword Clarion Reviews
