Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cate Blanchett. A whip-smart, hysterical dramedy about a family in crisis after the disappearance of its brilliant, misanthropic matriarch. Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Where’d You Go Bernadette is a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
