missing pages

Gaps in text

Missing pages are pages absent from a book, document, or manuscript where they should exist.

The phrase implies incompleteness—evidence that something has been removed or lost: The missing pages from the diary contained the crucial confession.

Figuratively, missing pages suggest gaps in a story or explanation: There are missing pages in your account of what happened.
