Ada and her father, touched by the power to heal illness, live on the edge of a village where they help sick locals—or “Cures”—by cracking open their damaged bodies or temporarily burying them in the reviving, dangerous Ground nearby. Ada, a being both more and less than human, is mostly uninterested in the Cures, until she meets a man named Samson—and they quickly strike up an affair. Soon, Ada is torn between her old way of life and new possibilities with her lover, and eventually she comes to a decision that will forever change Samson, the town, and the Ground itself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Visceral in its descriptions…this unworldly story is a well-crafted and eerie exploration of desire…beautifully intoxicating” (\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e). In Ada, award-winning author Sue Rainsford has created an utterly bewitching heroine, one who challenges conventional ideas of womanhood and the secrets of the body. “A triumph of imagination and myth-bending…equal parts beauty and horror [\u003ci\u003eFollow Me to Ground\u003c\/i\u003e is] unlike anything you will read this year” (Téa Obreht).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simon and Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781982133641\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £15.15","offer_id":47919280718001,"sku":"SB-1982133643-C3","price":15.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1982133643.jpg?v=1789280554","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/follow-me-to-ground","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
