As much as I love and need my husband, over the past few months I’ve realised something important. I can’t tell Eddie what’s been happening, no matter how much I want to. Not because he won’t believe me, but because he might.
And if Eddie believes me, he’ll try to stop me.
Faye knows that she is lucky. She has two beautiful daughters, a caring husband, close friends. The only thing that is missing is her mother, Jeanie, who died a long time ago. It is a loss that Faye feels ever more keenly as her own children grow older. Although her grief is always there, she has learned to keep it locked away.
And then something extraordinary happens, something that might allow her to speak to her mother again.
Faced with the chance to finally ask her mother all the questions she never could, Faye finds it impossible to let go of the past and live in the present. But does she really need to choose between the two? If making that choice means saying a final goodbye to her mother, Faye will try anything to hold on to both.
Beautifully nostalgic and incredibly moving, Space Hopper is an uplifting debut about mothers and daughters, time and faith, and deciding when, and how, to let go of the past.

Granted this is just the opening sample - but it's brilliant. Totally captivating, believable voice. A genuinely intriguing mystery & I have a feeling the novel will touch on themes of loss, mother-daughter relationships, the demands of a complex family life & the secrets we tell ourselves & our loved ones. I'm also thinking it will be extremely funny too! So excited to find out what happens next.

I hadn’t heard much about this so decided to request the extract instead of the full book and after inly a couple of pages I’m hooked, I need to know what happens, how does she see her mum? I need to know!!
Matthew T, Reviewer
A superb extract: original and compelling. I look forward to reading the whole novel. This short extract does what the opening on any captivating book should do and it is sufficiently intriguing to make me want to know more. I have the whole novel to read and this is on my 'pile' of virtual books to indulge in. I feel confident that I won't be disappointed given the success of this extract.

I’ve had the privilege of reading both this preview and the full ARC. Thank you.
A story of a woman who has found a way of visiting her mum who had died 30 years previously. Yet this is no ordinary story of time travel and barely crosses into the sci-fi genre as, above all, it is a story of hope and love after a lifetime of loss.
Helen Fisher has beautifully and rather wittily narrated a journey across two generations, bringing with it love, laughter and also despair. From the start to the end, the events, the little twists and heartfelt prose make this an emotional rollercoaster!
Such a clever story, so cleverly written. Would definitely recommend.
