'I really enjoyed Space Hopper. It's such an unusual, intriguing novel... beautiful.'  Marian Keyes, author of Grown Ups
'Enchanting… Fisher’s achingly authentic characters leap off the page and capture readers’ hearts. This addictive, emotionally heavy page-turner marks a delightful spin on the time travel genre.'  Publishers Weekly
'A lovely, deeply moving story of loss and love and memory made real. The sort of book that makes you feel the tenderness of joy restored, and the tearing pain of a choice between the two halves of your heart.'  Diana Gabaldon, author of Outlander
'A warm, witty, wholehearted glimpse inside a parallel universe. Genuine and touching... a delight.'  Booklist
'A magical story of love, loss and the ways that grief changes us forever. I stayed up all night turning pages until I reached its riveting surprise ending.

It will touch your heart in these difficult times.'  Margo Rabb, author of Kissing in America and Cures for Heartbreak
