Book description
A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations? An ironic, tragic
insight into the demise of the nuclear family? Or the confused ramblings
of a pissed thirty-something? 'A brilliant evocation of life as a single
girl in a certain time . . . reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen,
and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship or indeed a mother
will read it and roar' The Times 'I cannot recommend a book more
joyfully . . . Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly
touching' Daily Telegraph 'Wild comedy . . . observed with merciless,
flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book' Sunday Times Helen
Fielding was born in Yorkshire. She worked for many years in London as a
newspaper and TV journalist, travelling as wildly and as often as
possibly to Africa, India and Central America. She is the author of four
novels:
Cause Celeb
(1994), Bridget Jones's Diary
(1996), Bridget Jones:The Edge of Reason
(2000) and Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
