The iconic #1 bestseller by Helen Fielding and basis for the
films starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey and Emma
Thompson.
Bridget Jones’s Diary is the
devastatingly self-aware, laugh-out-loud account of a year in the life
of a thirty-something Singleton on a permanent doomed quest for
self-improvement. Caught between the joys of Singleton fun, and the fear
of dying alone and being found three weeks later half eaten by an
Alsatian; tortured by Smug Married friends asking, “How’s your love
life?” with lascivious, yet patronizing leers, Bridget resolves to:
reduce the circumference of each thigh by 1.5 inches, visit the gym
three times a week not just to buy a sandwich, form a functional
relationship with a responsible adult and learn to program the VCR. With
a blend of flighty charm, existential gloom, and endearing
self-deprecation, Bridget Jones’s Diary has touched a raw nerve with millions of readers the world round. Read it and laugh—before you cry, “Bridget Jones is me!” -Penguin Random House
