Product: Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel
A misanthropic matriarch leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears in this "whip-smart and divinely funny" novel that inspired the movie starring Cate Blanchett (New York Times).

 Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she&apos;s a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she&apos;s a disgrace; to design mavens, she&apos;s a revolutionary architect; and to 15-year-old Bee, she is her best friend and, simply, Mom. 

 Then Bernadette vanishes. It all began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette&apos;s intensifying allergy to Seattle -- and people in general -- has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. 

 To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, and secret correspondence -- creating a compulsively readable and surprisingly touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter&apos;s role in an absurd world.
