Where's You Go, Bernadette - Maria Semple
Synopsis
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 her best friend and, simply,
Mom.
Then Bernadette vanishes. It all 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, and secret correspondence --
creating a compulsively readable and surprisingly touching novel about
misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

Synopsis
I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current.
So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to
justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years
earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the
renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the
construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah
and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked
on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their
lives. { NOTE: I didn't really like this book. Way too much information to keep track of..it was totally confusing at times trying to keep up with who was who and where they fit into the story.}
