Lizzie is lonely. Her parents have gone, and her brother, who believes he is a woman, is missing. Most of all, though, Lizzie misses Sally, her former lover, who has gone off with a man with a fat neck.

She starts to stalk Sally, collecting bathroom fluff, dust, and pubes from Sally’s bed — all the things that prove that somewhere life is taking place without her.

In Search of the Missing Eyelash is a novel about home and love and what can become undone when we try to make it all better. It’s also about gender and sex, and it flips from heart-breaking to hilarious within the stroke of an eyelash.
