Bridget Jones’s Baby

The Diaries

Summary

Bridget Jones, the world’s favourite singleton, is back with a bump in the irresistible Sunday Times bestseller – now a major film.

‘Gloriously funny’ DAILY EXPRESS

8.45 P.M. Realise there have been so many times in my life when have fantasised about going to a scan with Mark or Daniel: just not both at the same time.

Before motherhood, before marriage, BRIDGET JONES, with biological clock ticking very, very loudly, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the eleventh hour.

Her joyful pregnancy is dominated, however, by a crucial but terribly awkward question – who is the father? Mark Darcy: honourable, decent, notable human rights lawyer? Or Daniel Cleaver: charming, witty, notable fuckwit?

‘Bridget is a creation of comic genius’ NICK HORNBY

‘How can a reader not love this woman?’ NEW YORK TIMES
