    "description": "The sea is steady for now. The land readies itself. What can be done with the woman on the cliff?\n\nOn a wild and rugged island cut off and isolated to some, artist Nell feels the island is her home. It is the source of inspiration for her art, rooted in landscape, folklore and the feminine. The mysterious Inions, a commune of women who have travelled there from all over the world, consider it a place of refuge and safety, of solace in nature.\n\nAll the islanders live alongside the strange murmurings that seem to emanate from within the depths of the island, a sound that is almost supernatural \u2013 a Summoning as the Inions call it. One day, a letter arrives at Nell\u2019s door from the reclusive Inions who invite Nell into the commune for a commission to produce a magnificent art piece to celebrate their long history. In its creation, Nell will discover things about the community and about herself that will challenge everything she thought she knew.\n\nBeautifully written, prescient and eerily haunting, Sin\u00e9ad Gleeson\u2019s fiction debut takes in the darker side of human nature and the mysteries of faith and the natural world. A novel from one of our most beloved literary voices, this is perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood and Sarah Moss.",
