At three feet ten inches tall, Faye Pearson knows all about perspective. A scientist doing entomological research in the tallest trees on Vancouver Island, Faye’s struggle to function in a world not made for people her size is poignant and heartwarming.

What Readers and Reviewers Are Saying

"In this sensitive, heartfelt novel Ann Eriksson shows how a transformational relationship can move us from one sphere to another, with unexpected discoveries, both wise and funny, along the way." - Edeet Ravel, author of Ten Thousand Lovers

"Now this is a love story! Ann Eriksson tells us a love story that includes the contemporary resistance to the very idea of love. It includes travel, mythology, sex, humour, an absolute abundance of fascinating characters. It's about the many and unlikely ways in which we seek happiness." - Robert Kroetsch

"In the Hands of Anubis is a lovely and loving exploration of hope and human connection. Constance is ...unforgettable."- Candace Fertile, Times Colonist
