Bernadette is a mother who is very introverted. She is not a people person and she likes to stay within her own home and comforts. Bernadette lives in a what used to be a school. The house is very large, there is huge stained glass windows overlooking a hillside where blackberry plants cascade down the vast hill. She doesn't like to expand outside the box which may be why she chose to live in such a secluded area. With this being said characters are alluding that Bernadette has a back story. I get the feeling that something is not being told to the reader.
In the E-mail from Soo-Lin-Lee Segal to Audrey Griffin Soo-Lim states "But when I looked her (Bernadette) up nothing appeared" (Semple 19).
This is the one line that made me believe something else is going on with Bernadette. Soo-Lin googled Bernadette to see what would come up and when nothing did come up she was very surprised. I think that Soo-Lin will try to investigate more about Bernadette's life, Bernadette will then get flustered at this and try to get away because she doesn't wasn't her neighbors or her family to find out what is really going on. Bernadette could possibly be a criminal or maybe even a celebrity. The possibilities are endless as to why nothing came up when Soo-Lin googled her name. Maybe Bernadette is hiding under a false name and that is why she seems to not exist when you google her. I am going to keep reading the novel and make more predictions throughout the book. Why do you think nothing appeared when Soo-Lin googled her name?
