Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Once-brilliant but now agoraphobic architect Bernadette Fox spends her days hiding at home, emailing instructions to a virtual personal assistant. Her workaholic husband barely recognizes her. But to her genius teen daughter, Bee, she's more than Mom — she's everything. So when Bernadette disappears, Bee heads to the ends of the earth to find her. A quirky tale about what happens when life takes a wrong turn.
