{"product_id":"9780316333603","title":"Where'd You Go, Bernadette","description":"\u003cb\u003eA 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 (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bernadette Fox is notorious. 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":"Maria Semple","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Mass market (rack) paperback","offer_id":42976510574752,"sku":"9780316333603","price":4.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_eb546daa-1e67-4fb9-89be-198e4763876f.jpg?v=1739580430","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780316333603","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
