So I decided to try to write something very powerful and painful. "I was already a year late, and I didn't like being in that position. "I thought, Oh Jesus, I’m going to have to turn this fucking book in,'" the 52-year-old author says. But the idea Semple had originally sold to her editor wasn't working out. The author of the 2012 hit *Where'd You Go, Bernadette-*a far-flung comic tale of a disjointed but loving Seattle family-had seen her book stay on the best-seller chart for more than a year, and she now owed her publisher a follow-up. About two years ago, just as she was starting work on a new novel, Maria Semple realized she was in trouble.
