Where’d You Go, Bernadette

I’m talking about the book Where’d You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple, and the 2019 movie adaptation starring Cate Blanchett and Billy Crudup.

Bernadette is an accomplished architect married to Elgin, a computer animator. She wins a MacArthur genius award after spending three years building a house using only materials made within a 20-mile radius of the house. Her nasty neighbor buys the house through his business manager and tears it down in a just few hours while Bernadette is in Europe. Devastated, she flees to Seattle when Elgin gets a job with Microsoft. After four miscarriages, she finally gives birth to their daughter, Bee. The story takes place over about two months in winter when Bee is 15 and the family is planning a trip to Antarctica.
