She’s the girl we all feel like inside, and the girl who changed the landscape of modern day romance literature, which affected every woman, young and old.
If you are still behind on the subject, Bridget Jones is a character behind the famed novel and movies called Bridget Jones’ Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
We all loved the books, and we all read them more than once, but now we can, with certainty, say that Bridget Jones is back in full force this October, in Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy.
When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones’ Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced readers to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature.
The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and spawned the bestselling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
The two books were turned into major blockbuster films starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
With her hotly anticipated third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Fielding introduces us to a whole new enticing phase of Bridget’s life, set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, the disastrous email, total lack of twitter followers, and TV sets that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.
An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a triumphant return of our favourite everywoman.
