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).","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041431273712,"sku":"9781982133641","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781982133641_p0.jpg?v=1763671489","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781982133641","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
