To her Microsoft-guru husband, Bernadettes a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, shes a disgrace; to design mavens, shes a revolutionary architect, and to her 15-year-old, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. 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, shes a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, shes a disgrace; to design mavens, shes 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 Bernadettes 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 daughters role in an absurd world.
