Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Brief Summary

Maria Semple’s novel "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" reinvents the epistolary format with a modern approach. The author crafts a "documentary novel" told through a collage of fictional archival materials: emails, faxes, legal transcripts, text messages, and even financial documents. When eccentric genius Bernadette Fox vanishes, her teenage daughter Bee is left to piece together the mystery using emails, memos, and hilarious anecdotes. So, where is Bernadette?
