To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect; and to 15-year-old Bee, she is her best friend and, simply, Mom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Then Bernadette vanishes. It all began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette'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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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's role in an absurd world.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53675161026833,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780316204279.jpg?v=1781538533","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-where-d-you-go-bernadette-by-maria-semple","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
