Bridget Jones's Diary, Helen Fielding

"God, why am I so hideous? To think I convinced myself I was spending my whole weekend working when I was just standing guard by the phone, waiting for Daniel to call me. Awful! Why didn't he call? What's wrong with me?" Bridget is almost thirty and still not married. Between a selfish mother and friends who are more or less in relationships, she is looking for the Prince Charming who will change her life, her view of herself and of the world. How to deal with men? Where to start? With biting humor, Helen Fielding paints a portrait of a generation of women who are socially responsible, financially independent, but emotionally... frustrated! A romantic comedy, ironic and tender.
