Where'd You Go, Bernadette

by Maria Semple

About the book

When her brilliant but increasingly erratic architect mother Bernadette suddenly vanishes before a family trip to Antarctica, fifteen-year-old Bee becomes a detective in her own life, piecing together the truth from a trail of emails, receipts, and correspondence. Through Bee's determined investigation, a deeper story emerges about creativity, motherhood, and what happens when passionate people feel trapped by the very lives they've built.
