Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple, 330 pages. A popular favorite from 2012 and a very fun book to read, Semple's novel follows Bernadette, now a reclusive mother of a gifted eighth grade daughter, but who was, once upon a time, the star of the architectural firmament, as she battles with her inner demons and her neighbors, with the help of her assistant, who may be sitting in a third-world call center, or who may exist only online as a front for a very large scam. A fun read. Check our catalog.
