Bernadette Fox es famosa. Para Elgie, su marido y gur de Microsoft, es una esposa con mucho car cter. Para las madres del colegio privado de Seattle donde lleva a su hija es una deshonra. Para el gremio de arquitectos es un genio, y para Bee, su hija adolescente, es sencillamente mam . Esta historia comienza cuando Bee llega a casa con excelentes notas. Sus padres le hab an prometido que podr a escoger el regalo so ado, y Bee decide que quiere un viaje a la Ant rtida con ellos. Bernadette, que, entre muchas otras cosas, sufre de agorafobia y odia cualquier tipo de contacto social, no es capaz de decirle que no a su hija, y entonces... Bernadette desaparece. La intr pida Bee emprende su b squeda rastreando la correspondencia de su madre: emails, mensajes, cartas secretas, documentos oficiales... todo ellos servir para conformar una lectura hilarante que nos ayudar a reflexionar sobre las relaciones familiares. Y es que Bernadette , a pesar de todas sus imperfecciones, es un regalo para el lector . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A whip-smart, hysterical dramedy about a family in crisis after the disappearance of its brilliant, misanthropic matriarch. Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
