Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel
by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette turns a disappearance into a comedy of paperwork: a fifteen-year-old reconstructs her brilliant, agoraphobic mother's vanishing from emails, school memos, and FBI documents, and the search doubles as a razor-edged satire of Seattle, tech money, and wasted genius.
