Bridget Jones's Diary is a cult novel by Helen Fielding.
Its film adaptation has become a cinematic classic, starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, and Colin Firth.
It's impossible not to love Bridget Jones. Her story is a stunningly ironic and frank account of the difficult but vibrant solo life of thirty-something city dwellers.
The desire for self-improvement, the choice between bachelor fun and obligations, parental pressure ('When will you get married?'), and disappointments at work—these are problems familiar to many.
Bridget wittily describes her everyday life in her diary, counting glasses of wine, calories, and cigarettes on its pages. And in between, he falls in love and, with amazing talent, gets into funny situations.
The novel won the 'Best Book of the Year' award in the UK and also took 75th place in the BBC's list of the 200 best books.
