Description
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 heartbreaking to hilarious with the stroke of an eyelash.

Wow! A brilliant, moving debut novel from McLeod, which excites me greatly about their future. The exploration of gender and self-exploration is beautiful. A perfect novel for those searching for themselves in our current climate.
Cara M, Reviewer
In a nutshell, it’s a humorous LGBT coming-of-age story about a lonely young woman who stalks her former lover. It addresses the concept of home and gender as performance, themes of vulnerability, narcissism, attachment and the boundary between inside and outside.
