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.
我来告诉你们人生的一个小秘密。你们觉得现在很无聊吗?那好,以后会越来越无聊的。你们越早知道要让生活有趣就必须靠自己这个道理就会过得越好。”
You are bored. And I am going to let you in on a little secret about life. You think it's boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it's on you to make life interesting, the better off you'll be. (查看原文)

前半本书都很无聊,直到丈夫开始打算把妻子送到精神病那里才有趣起来。以为妻子知道了丈夫的背叛之后,会在新大陆找到自己人生的新目标,结果是要回去重修旧好??还要和小三争夺丈夫??啥破玩意儿

来自前Arrested Development编剧,号称年度最聪明、好玩的小说之一 讲了个少女寻母故事,叙事文本多样化——有电子邮件,还有警局档案,个人笔记 这句点评大赞: “就跟Arrested Development一样,没啥标语或概要能逮到这书的乐子”
