Bridget Jones’s Diary

”此書一開始是書中主角布莉琪‧瓊斯列出的新年新希望，她想要戒煙、存錢、減肥、還希望自己能夠更寬容，不要太在意親朋好友對她感情生活的過問、也希望自己變得更有自信、能夠養成早睡早起的習慣、在處理男女之間的關係能夠成熟……不過從日記的第一天開始，讀者便好氣又好笑的發現『理想』與『現實』之間著實有很大的差距！於是我們便隨著瓊斯的生活情感起伏，陪她度過三十幾歲生活中的一段酸甜苦辣的歲月。
Bridget Jones Diary follows the fortunes of a single girl on an optimistic but doomed quest for self-improvement. Cheered by feminist ranting with her friends Jude. Shazzer and ’hag-fag’ Tom, humiliated at Smug Marrieds’ dinner parties, crazed by parental attempts to fix her up with a rich divorcee in a diamond-patterned sweater, Bridget lurches from torrid affair to pregnancy-scare convinced that if she could just get down to 8st 7, stop smoking and develop Inner Poise, all would be resolved.
Bridget Jones First came to public attention in Helen Fielding’s hugely popular fictional diary in the Independent newspaper. In this novel based on her creation, Fielding offers us a brilliantly funny picaresque tale: a year in the life of a girl determined to ’have it all’ - the second she’s finished this cigarette and phoned Shazzer.”
