Summary
Grace Williams Says It Loud: A Story of Love Against the Odds
The doctors said no more could be done and advised Grace’s parents to put her away.
On her first day at the Briar Mental Institute, Grace, aged eleven, meets Daniel.
Debonair Daniel, an epileptic who can type with his feet, sees a different Grace: someone to share secrets and canoodle with, someone to fight for.
A deeply affecting, spirit-soaring story of love against the odds.

Critics Review
Henderson allows you to soar with Grace’s imagination - The Times 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 McCabeThere 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. - Sunday TimesGrace’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. - Choicefar more inspiring than a hundred feel-good tomes - Independent, Books of the YearMesmerising … an incredible journey through love, loss, bittersweet triumph and disaster - Sunday HeraldA quirky and clever debut… this is an honest and witty insight into mental illness. - StylistGrace’s romance with Daniel, a “debonair” epileptic, is tender and convincing; the limber, musical prose peppered with brilliant descriptions… - Independent on SundayAbout The Author
