Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Bernadette Fox is notorious.
To Elgie Branch, a Microsoft wunderkind, she’s his hilarious, volatile, talented, troubled wife.
To fellow mothers at the school gate, she’s a menace.
To design experts, she’s a revolutionary architect.
And to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, quite simply, mum.
Then Bernadette disappears. And Bee must take a trip to the end of the earth to find her.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette is a compulsively readable, irresistibly written, deeply touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter’s place in the world.

Quite an extraordinary book! And I do recommend it. Can take a while to get into it but worth persisting. A feminist book taking on the issues of female success/what happens in a marriage/the effects of repeated miscarriage & most importantly in this book about the love between mother and daughter.
