Recensioner i media

Henderson allows you to soar with Grace's imagination * <i>The Times</i> book club * 'Startlingly assured, poetic and engaging - GRACE WILLIAMS SAYS IT LOUD introduces a new voice, one which I have no doubt we will be hearing much more of; I read it in two sittings, and am already looking forward to her next work.' * Patrick McCabe * 'There is tenderness, joy, romance (not to mention inventive sex) and heartbreak. The language is tricksy, the subject disturbing. But this book is energetic, passionate and not easily forgotten.' * <i>Sunday Times</i> * Grace's story from child to adult, told to stunning effect. Beautifully written, funny, sad and unforgettable, a love story like no other, it could be your book of the year. * <i>Choice</i> * 'far more inspiring than a hundred feel-good tomes' * <i>Independent<i/>, Books of the Year * Mesmerising ... an incredible journey through love, loss, bittersweet triumph and disaster * <i>Sunday Herald</i> * 'A quirky and clever debut... this is an honest and witty insight into mental illness.' * <i>Stylist</i> * Grace's romance with Daniel, a "debonair" epileptic, is tender and convincing; the limber, musical prose peppered with brilliant descriptions... * <i>Independent on Sunday</i> *
