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.
