“When Bobby [Tichenor, store owner, Annie Bloom’s Books], Will [Peters, store manager] and I [Mary Fellows] all love a novel, you know something unusual is going on. In this case it’s a funny, edgy, good-hearted send-up of all things Seattle, in particular a badly-located, upper-crust private school. But behind all the cleverness is a really touching, often hilarious story about an off-kilter but loving family. Add a little adventure, a little infidelity, the gradual revealing of the secrets of the back-story, and you have a very satisfying read. I became quite attached to this family of three and I’m hoping for a sequel.”—Mary, Annie Blooms Books, Portland. Buy Where’d You Go, Bernadette from Annie Blooms Books.
