Description
A NEW YORK TIMES bestseller
Shortlisted for the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction
Now a major motion picture, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig, and Billy Crudup
'Like A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD written by Tina Fey' RED MAGAZINE
Bernadette Fox is notorious.
To Elgie Branch, a Microsoft wunderkind, she's his hilarious, volatile, talented, troubled wife.
To fellow mothers at the school gate, she's a menace.
To design experts, she's a revolutionary architect.
And to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, quite simply, mum.
Then Bernadette disappears. And Bee must take a trip to the end of the earth to find her.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette is a compulsively readable, irresistibly written, deeply touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's place in the world.
