Space Hopper: ''Charming and powerful'' Marjan Kamali
English
By (author): Helen Fisher
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY DEBUT OF 2021
This is a story about taking a leap of faith
And believing the unbelievable
They say those we love never truly leave us, and Ive found that to be true. But not in the way you might expect. In fact, none of this is what youd expect.
Ive been visiting my mother who died when I was eight.
And Im talking about flesh and blood, tea-and-biscuits-on-the-table visiting here.
Right now, you probably think Im going mad.
Let me explain
Although Faye is happy with her life, the loss of her mother as a child weighs on her mind even more now that she is a mother herself. So she is amazed when, in an extraordinary turn of events, she finds herself back in her childhood home in the 1970s. Faced with the chance to finally seek answers to her questions but away from her own family how much is she willing to give up for another moment with her mother?
Space Hopper is an original and poignant story about mothers, memories and moments that shape life.
