Daisy Johnson, the author of Everything Under Beautiful and terrifying, has crafted a seethingly assured debut that seamlessly blends magical realism with critical and feminist theory. Set in a house in a wood, Ada and her father live peacefully, tending to their garden and the wildlife that inhabits it. However, they are not human; Ada was created by her father from a unique patch of earth known for its birthing and healing properties. Despite his efforts, Ada may not have been perfected. They dedicate their days to healing the local human folk, known as Cures, who visit them with their ailments, suspiciously.

When Ada embarks on a relationship with a local Cure named Samson, she is forced to choose between her old life with her father and a new one with her human lover. Her decision will have far-reaching consequences, uprooting the town and the Ground itself forever.

FOLLOW ME TO GROUND is a poised and simmering tour-de-force, offering a sinister vision of desire and freewill. The novel is voiced in earthy prose and eviscerating detail by an astoundingly original new writer. Equal parts beauty and horror, this novel is unlike anything you will read this year.

With its seamless blend of magical realism and critical theory, the book offers a sinister vision of the world that will leave readers captivated and pondering its implications long after they have turned the last page.
