An ambitious experimental fiction novella in which a female Lucky Lavaggio, intersected by a male Lucky Lavaggio, takes a journey across the time zones on the equinox with her scrying mirror.
Lucky Lavaggio has the psycho-medical condition Alice in Wonderland syndrome, in which she can't tell how she looks, and she decides to take her scrying mirror into the future to determine how she is aging. Will she be beautiful enough to make it worthwhile trying to win back her ex lover, who has become simply her driver, and has become her housekeeper's lover instead?
Lucky is an eccentric woman running a boarding house and she spies on the characters through tiny scrying mirrors in the walls. The reader is challenged to put the pieces together about who these people really are. For example, one seems to be a troll from her childhood. Is Lucky herself imagined by herself as girl? Or by her mother before she is born?
And who is the male Lucky Lavaggio who flashes in and out of her perceptions?
Lucky keeps a woman secretly trapped in the oubliette, and leaves her there when she travels across the globe.
