Summon; summon to; summon for.

I am reading a Margaret Drabble novel and I am wondering about this phrase:
'It summoned up to her the mystery of the dignity of the tribe...'

It does not seem correct to me and does not read well either. What do you think?

It reads clumsily because usually the direct object goes before the indirect.

It summoned up the mystery of the tribe to her.

Thank you. Now I know why it felt wrong.

I think she did find and replace on 'conjured up' with 'summoned up' then thought too hard about 'summoned to whom?'

scary interesting suggestion. I have had lots of fun in stuff I have written with the find and replace function!
