THE NEW BRIDGET JONES AUDIOBOOK What do you do when a girlfriend's 60th birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend's 30th? Is it wrong to lie about your age when online dating? Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice? Does the Dalai Lama actually tweet or is it his assistant? Is technology now the fifth element? Or is that wood? Is sleeping with someone after 2 dates and 6 weeks of texting the same as getting married after 2 meetings and 6 months of letter writing in Jane Austen's day? Pondering these, and other modern dilemmas, Bridget Jones stumbles through the challenges of single-motherhood, tweeting, texting and redisovering her sexuality in whatSOME people rudely and outdatedly call 'middle age'. The long-awaited return of a much-loved character, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious. Available as an unabridged audiobook narrated by the fabulous Samantha Bond.

Autorentext

Helen Fielding is the author of Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, and was part of the screenwriting team on the films of the same name. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is her fifth novel. She has two children and lives in London and sometimes Los Angeles.

Klappentext

BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY and its sequel were published in the 1990s to worldwide acclaim, and are often credited with launching the 'chick lit' phenomenon. The books follow the details of Bridget's daily life and her romantic encounters Mark Darcy (nice but dull), and Daniel Cleaver (wrong but romantic). Now Bridget is back in another hilarious novel that will appeal to fans and new readers alike.
