This novel evolved from Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary columns in The Independent and The Daily Telegraph. In these situations, Bridget is often plagued with that perennial question "How's your love life?" and exposed to the eccentricities of middle class British society, manifested in turkey curry buffets and tarts and vicars parties at which the women wear sexually provocative ("tart") costumes, while the men dress as Anglican priests (" vicars"). Her mother is an overconfident, doting woman who is constantly trying to marry Bridget off to a rich, handsome man and her father is considerably more down-to-earth, though he is sometimes driven into uncharacteristically unstable states of mind by his wife.īridget often visits her parents, as well as her parents' friends, primarily Geoffrey and Una Alconbury Geoffrey creates a mildly uncomfortable situation for Bridget by insisting she call him "Uncle Geoffrey" despite his propensity for groping her rear end whenever they meet. Her friends are essentially her surrogate family in London.īridget's parents live outside of the city, and while they play a lesser role than her friends, they are important figures in Bridget's life. These friends are there for her unconditionally throughout the novel they give her advice about her relationships, and support when problems arise. Bridget's friends and family are the supporting characters in her diary. These two men are connected by more than their relationships with Bridget, as Fielding reveals near the end of the novel.īridget not only obsesses about her love life, but also details her various daily struggles with her weight, her over-indulgence in alcohol and cigarettes, and her career. Bridget's second relationship is with the stuffy human-rights barrister Mark Darcy, whom she initially dislikes when they are reintroduced at a New Year's party where her mother reminds them they were childhood playmates. The first is with her charming and handsome boss Daniel Cleaver, who eventually cheats on Bridget with a younger, more conventionally attractive woman. However, during the course of the year she becomes involved in two romantic relationships.

She worries on a regular basis about dying without someone and going on to be eaten by dogs when her singleness causes her death not to be discovered promptly, an obsession that a USA Today reviewer called "one of more cheerful daydreams". The plot is focused on Bridget's love life.
