Space Hopper: The Most Recommended Book Debut of 2021

Helen Fisher used to work in the RNIB Research and Development Department.  The insight she gained there has fed into the main characters in her novel Space Hopper – which is  published this Thursday 4th of February.

It’s been hailed as ‘the most recommended debut of 2021’, so Read On’s Red Szell was keen to find out more and talk about what in his mind is the most plausible blind character in fiction to date.  

The publishers have kindly donated the audiobook to the Talking Books Library so you can listen to 'Space Hopper' for free here: www.readingservices.rnib.org.uk
