Misanthropic matriarch Bernadette Fox leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears . . .
A many-faceted novel told through multi-media, Where'd You Go Bernadette is an ingenious and unabashedly entertaining novel about a family coming to terms with who they are, and the power of a daughter's love for her mother.
"There's a lot to like in Semple's charming novel, including the vivacious humor and the lesson that when creative forces like Bernadette stop creating, they become 'a menace to society.' Even more appealing is the mutually adoring mother-daughter relationship at its warm heart." -- NPR
