Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria SEMPLER

  • Summary

  • The excerpts from Maria Semple's novel "Where Did You Go, Bernadette?" tell the story of Bernadette Fox, an eccentric and reclusive architect who mysteriously disappears before a trip to Antarctica with her family. The narrative alternates between Bernadette's emails, her interactions with her community of parents at her daughter's school, and flashbacks to her past. Her complex personality, her aversion to social interaction, and her mental health issues are explored, all against a backdrop of family tensions and humorous twists. The story revolves around Bernadette's search, her personal history, and the complex relationships she has with those around her. The style is marked by caustic humor and a non-linear structure.
