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.
