Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Discover the brilliantly funny and deeply moving Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple, a runaway bestseller that captured hearts worldwide. When Bernadette Fox, a once-renowned architect turned agoraphobic misfit mom, suddenly disappears just before a family trip to Antarctica, her 15-year-old daughter Bee sets out to find her, piecing together the mystery through emails, official documents, and secret correspondence.
Bernadette is a woman on the edge—brilliant, creative, and utterly exasperated by the relentless cheerfulness of Seattle's elite private school parents, her husband's all-consuming tech job, and the crumbling mansion she calls home. As Bee unravels what happened to her mother, we discover a woman who is equal parts genius and disaster, someone who has lost herself but might just find her way back. Semple's razor-sharp wit and keen observations about modern life, marriage, motherhood, and the tech industry create a story that is both laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly poignant.
Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, The Rosie Project, and anyone who loves quirky, intelligent fiction with heart. This novel became a phenomenon for good reason—it's smart, hilarious, and ultimately uplifting. Essential reading for book clubs and anyone who appreciates unforgettable characters and sharp social commentary wrapped in an irresistible mystery.
