«Where'd You Go, Bernadette» is the contemporary fiction novel by Maria Semple, published by Orion Publishing Group in hardback (324 pages, in English).
Bernadette Fox was a celebrated architect, but now lives in Seattle consumed by agoraphobia and isolation, with an apparently perfect life alongside her husband, a Microsoft executive, and her daughter Bee. When Bee wins a family trip to Antarctica as a prize, Bernadette disappears without a trace. Bee will gather emails, documents and letters to follow her trail, uncovering the secrets her mother has hidden for years in a wittily told story about wasted talent, identity and the bond between mother and daughter.
This novel won the ALA Alex Award in 2013 and was nominated for the Women's Prize for Fiction. The covers feature praise from Jonathan Franzen and Kate Atkinson.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking a plot with mystery and humour, with an eccentric protagonist and a moving mother-daughter relationship.
