Where'd you go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

'Where'd you go, Bernadette' by Maria Semple

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.

REVIEW

The majority of this book is told via emails, newspaper articles, school reports etc. which I did find it made for a very interesting read. I did laugh a few times and find the book overall ok but it just wasn’t that memorable. I read the book about 6 weeks ago (little behind in writing my reviews!) and cant really remember all that I read and wouldn't re-read and cant remember any memorable quotes. The ending was rubbish with a lot of things unexplained.

Would not really recommend.
