Where'd you go, Bernadette : [a novel]

When her notorious, hilarious, volatile, talented, troubled, and agoraphobic mother goes missing, teenage Bee begins a trip that takes her to the ends of the Earth to find her. Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she is a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she is a disgrace; to design mavens, she is a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It 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. To find her mother, Bee compiles e-mail messages, official documents, secret correspondence, creating a touching novel about a family coming to terms with who they are, and the power of a daughter's love for her imperfect mother.

  • "Bernadette Fox ist chaotisch, überfordert - und ungeheuer liebenswert. Ihr Ehemann Elgie, der neue Hoffnungsträger bei Microsoft, mag ihren Witz. Und ihre verrückten Ideen. Irgendwie auch ihre Unsicherheit, wenn sie mal wieder von quälenden Ängsten heimgesucht wird. Die anderen Mütter, allesamt perfekt organisiert, halten Bernadette allerdings für eine Nervensäge. Verantwortungslos. Schliesslich beschäftigt sie online eine indische Assistentin, die den Alltag für sie regelt. Zum Stundensatz von 0,75 Dollar reserviert Manjula den Tisch im Restaurant, erledigt mal eben die Bankgeschäfte und bucht den Familienurlaub in die Antarktis. Und für ihre 15jährige Tochter Bee, die kleine Streberin, ist Bernadette, na ja, eine Mutter. Bee kennt ja keine andere. Doch irgendwann beschliesst Bernadette auszubrechen. Ihr wird das alles zu viel. Und auf einmal ist sie verschwunden ... Maria Semple reiste die ersten Jahre ihres Lebens mit ihren Eltern kreuz und quer durch Europa (in Spanien schrieb ihr Vater Lorenzo den Pilot zur TV-Serie Batman), bevor sie nach Los Angeles und später nach Colorado zog. Unmittelbar nach Abschluss ihres Studiums am Barnard-College verkaufte sie ein Movie Script an Twentieth Century Fox, woraufhin sie sich wieder in LA niederliess. Sie arbeitete zunächst für Beverly Hills, 90210, schrieb dann für Sitcoms wie Ellen, Mad About You und Arrested Development. Inzwischen lebt sie mit ihrem Ehemann, der für die Simpsons schreibt, und der gemeinsamen Tochter in Seattle. Sie schreibt Bücher, studiert nebenher, und versucht, nicht ständig online zu sein. 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' steht seit über 30 Wochen auf der New-York-Times-Bestsellerliste. Eine Kinoverfilmung ist in Arbeit."
  • "Bernadette is a frightfully intelligent wife and mother whose intense allergy to Seattle specifically, and to people in general, has driven her to hire a virtual assistant in India to execute even her most basic tasks. Then her daughter, Bee, insists on a family trip to Antarctica as her reward for getting perfect grades in middle school, and Bernadette is faced with the daunting prospect of actual human interaction. And then Bernadette disappears."@en
  • "To her Microsoft-guru husband, Bernadette is 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's a best friend and, simply, Mom. Bee has aced her report card and claimed her reward: a family trip to Antarctica. For Bernadette, who has become increasingly agoraphobic, such a trip is problematic. Then Bernadette disappears."
  • ""Bernadette Fox es famosa. Para Elgin, su marido y gurú de Microsoft, es una esposa con mucho carácter. Para las madres del colegio privado de Seattle adonde lleva a su hija es una deshonra. Para el gremio de arquitectos es un genio, y para Bee, su hija adolescente, es sencillamente mamá. Esta historia comienza cuando Bee llega a casa con excelentes notas. Sus padres le habían prometido que podría escoger el regalo soñado, y Bee decide que quiere un viaje a la Antártida con ellos. Bernadette, que, entre muchas otras cosas, sufre de agorafobia y odia cualquier tipo de contacto social, no es capaz de decirle no a su hija, y entonces-- Bernadette desaparece. La intrépida Bee emprende su búsqueda rastreando la correspondencia de su madre: emails, mensajes, cartas secretas, documentos oficiales-- todo ello servirá para conformar una lectura hilarante que nos ayudará a reflexionar sobre las relaciones familiares"--Publisher's description."
  • "La mère de Bee a disparu. Afin de la retrouver, tout est mis en oeuvre et les différentes pièces du puzzle sont réunies : lettres, emails, témoignages... Peu à peu, on découvrira combien la personnalité de Bernadette est fantaisiste, névrosée, féroce et fragile, et surtout combien sa fille l'adore et la comprend.--[Memento]."
