With another devastatingly hilarious, ridiculous, unnervingly accurate take on modern womanhood, Bridget Jones is back. (v.g.)
Monday 27 January:
"7:15 a.m. Hurrah! The wilderness years are over. For four weeks and five days now have been in functional relationship with adult male, thereby proving am not love pariah as recently feared."
Wednesday 5 March:
"7:08 p.m. Am assured, receptive, responsive woman of substance. My sense of self comes not from other people but . . .from . . .myself? That can't be right."
Lurching from the cappuccino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, everyone's favorite Singleton Bridget Jones begins her search for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, and Smug Married advice. She experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of How to Find the Love You Want Without Seeking It (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay.

      Narrator Rosalyn Landor enhances Fielding's well-drawn story, spot-on characters, and colorful dialogue. Friendship, career, and romance, the trio of joy and sorrow for modern women, are skewered, with Landor capturing each character splendidly. Most noticeable is the contrast between Bridget and her mother, which flows perfectly and most likely will strike a chord in many young listeners. Now that Bridget has a steady man, it's satisfying to see that she remains faithful to her old friends. Realism is maintained as Bridget still battles the same problems--with or without a man. Experiencing Landor's narration is like having a cappuccino with Bridget and hearing her woes firsthand. S.G.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
