The multi-million-copy number one bestseller.

One of The Sunday Times's top 100 bestselling books of the past 50 years.

Welcome to Bridget's first diary: mercilessly funny, endlessly touching, and utterly addictive.

A dazzlingly urban satire on modern relationships? An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family? Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something?

As Bridget documents her struggles through the social minefield of her thirties and tries to weigh up the eternal question (Daniel Cleaver or Mark Darcy?), she turns for support to four indispensable friends: Shazzer, Jude, Tom, and a bottle of Chardonnay.

Helen Fielding's first Bridget Jones novel, Bridget Jones's Diary, sparked a phenomenon that has seen four books, newspaper columns, and the smash-hit film series Bridget Jones's Diary, The Edge of Reason, Bridget Jones's Baby, and Mad About the Boy.

'Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching' โ€” Jilly Cooper, The Daily Telegraph

Bridget Jones's Diary was featured in 'The 100 bestselling books of the past 50 years' published by The Sunday Times on 18/08/2024.
