Bridget Jones’s Diary
Bridget Jones’s Diary is the devastatingly self aware, laugh out loud account of a year in the life of a thirty something Singleton on a permanent doomed quest for self improvement. Caught between the joys of Singleton fun, and the fear of dying alone and being found three weeks later half eaten by an Alsatian; tortured by Smug Married friends asking, ‘How’s your love life’ with lascivious, yet patronizing leers, Bridget resolves to reduce the circumference of each thigh by 1.5 inches, visit the gym three times a week not just to buy a sandwich, form a functional relationship with a responsible adult and learn to program the VCR. With a blend of flighty charm, existential gloom, and endearing self deprecation, the diary has touched a raw nerve with millions of readers the world round. Read it, laugh and crash your head onto the table before you cry, ‘Bridget Jones is me!’ ‘Screamingly funny.’ USA Today ‘Bridget Jones is channeling something so universal and horrifyingly familiar that readers will giggle and sigh with collective delight.’ Elle ‘Hilarious but poignant.’ The Washington Post ‘This juicy diary tells the truth with a verve as appealing to men on Mars as it is to Venusian women. A.’ Entertainment Weekly ‘An unforgettably droll character.’ Newsweek ‘Bridget’s voice is dead on…
will cause readers to drop the book, grope frantically for the phone and read it out loud to their best girlfriends.’ The Philadelphia Inquirer ‘Fielding…
has rummaged all too knowingly through the bedrooms, closets, hearts and minds of women everywhere.’ Glamour ‘Good bye Rules Girls, hello Singletons…
Endearingly engaging.’ The New York Times Book Review

The Wilderness Years are over! But not for long. At the end of Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget hiccupped off into the sunset with man of her dreams Mark Darcy. Now, in The Edge of Reason, she discovers what it is like when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he hasn’t done the washing up, not just the whole of this week, but ever. Lurching through a morass of self help book theories and mad advice from Jude and Shazzer, struggling with a boyfriend stealing ex friend with thighs like a baby giraffe, an 8ft hole in the living room wall, a mother obsessed with boiled egg peelers, and a builder obsessed with large reservoir fish, Bridget embarks on a spiritual epiphany, which takes her from the cappuccino queues of Notting Hill to the palm and magic mushroom kissed shores of…

Cause Celeb
‘B.B.J.’ Before Bridget Jones. Helen Fielding’s highly acclaimed first novel brings all the insight and charm of the Bridget Jones novels to a brilliantly witty, thought provoking take on today’s woman and today’s world. Cause Celeb the critically acclaimed debut novel from a writer with a boundless grasp of the existential and the uproarious has just landed in America. Deftly skewering the world of celebrity fundraising, Fielding has created an alternately comic and moving satire that straddles the glitter of media London and the horrors of an African refugee crisis. Rosie Richardson, a twenty something literary puffette is in a totally nonfunctional relationship with an unevolved but irresistible adult male a hotshot TV presenter who plunges her into the glitzy, bit*chy inane lifestyle of London’s It people. Disillusioned with the celebrity world, Rosie escapes to run a refugee camp in the African desert. When famine strikes and a massive refugee influx heads for the camp, governments and agencies drag their heels. Bringing her former media savvy to the fore, realizing the only way to get food out fast is to bring celebrities first, Rosie returns to the life and man she fled to organize a star studded emergency appeal from famine racked Africa. Seamlessly bridging cataclysm and farce through the insights of a modern day everywoman, Cause Celeb crackles with insight into fame, passion, and altruism in our time.’Henry was wearing his favorite T shirt which featured a multiple choice questionaire for relief workers. a missionary?b mercenary?c misfit?d broken heart?I was a c/d hybrid and soft in the head to boot.’
Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
From the white heat of Miami to the implants of LA, the glittering waters of the Caribbean to the deserts of Arabia, Olivia Joules pits herself against the forces of terror armed only with a hatpin, razor sharp wits and a very special underwired bra. How could a girl not be drawn to the alluring, powerful Pierre Ferramo, with his hooded eyes, impeccable taste, unimaginable wealth, exotic homes across the globe and a rather dubious French accent? But is it possible that Ferramo is actually a major terrorist, bent on the western world’s destruction. Or, is it all just a product of Olivia Joules’s overactive imagination. Join Olivia in her heart stopping and hilarious quest to save the world in this witty, contemporary and utterly unputdownable thriller. ‘If Bridget Jones shaped and named a certain kind of life in the 1990s, it looks as if Olivia Joules, Helen Fielding’s new hero*ine, may do the same for the new decade’ ‘The Times’.
