Second Friday Book Group

Maria Semple’s
hilarious and satirical novel, Where’d You Go, Bernadette, skewers a
pretentious, upscale Seattle community whose inhabitants are
excruciatingly smart and successful. Bernadette cannot stand most of
them and becomes increasingly reclusive until she finally disappears.
Semple was a television writer before she wrote books and her talent in
combining many formats in one story is evident throughout.
