'A tangled, gnarled, wonderfully original, strange, beautiful beast of a book' DAISY JOHNSON, author of Everything Under<br>'Beautiful and terrifying' SUNDAY TIMES<br>'Seethingly assured debut fuses magical realism with critical and feminist theory' GUARDIAN<br><br>In house in a wood, Ada and her father live peacefully, tending to their garden and the wildlife in it. They are not human though. Ada was made by her father from the Ground, a unique patch of earth with birthing and healing properties. Though perhaps he didn't get her quite right. They spend their days healing the local human folk - named Cures - who visit them, suspiciously, with their ailments. <br><br>When Ada embarks on a relationship with a local Cure named Samson, and is forced to choose between her old life with her father, and a new one with her human lover. Her decision will uproot the town - and the Ground itself - for ever.<br><br>A poised and simmering tour-de-force, FOLLOW ME TO GROUND is a sinister vision of desire and freewill, voiced in earthy prose and eviscerating detail by an astoundingly original new writer.<br><br>'Equal parts beauty and horror, and unlike anything you will read this year' TEA OBREHT<br>'Fierce, palpable, hynoptic. A dazzling, troubling dream' COLIN BARRETT<br><br>'A writer to watch' METRO<br><br>'An astonishing debut heralding the career of an exciting new writer. Strange, lyrical, and arresting, this novel will draw readers into its extraordinary spell.' KIRKUS starred review <br><br>LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE 2019
