Description
Trevor Wallace, a tractor salesman with a lost childhood and a stalled relationship, is en route to Africa on business. In the Frankfurt airport he stumbles over the bag of Constance Ebenezer, a gregarious old lady who is travelling the world with extraordinary contraband in her luggage. Marooned briefly in Cairo together, these two unlikely companions embark on an emotional journey that turns Trevor’s predictable and well-ordered world upside down.
Replete with coyotes, dog-headed gods and broken tractors, In the Hands of Anubis is a wonderfully playful exploration of human relationships and the unexpected guides we meet in life.
