Bridget Jones

I read Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason when I was twenty. I could see Helen Fielding speak to me with a flicker of a smile, “ No, thirty-year-old women are not as old as you think, and they are truly attractive.” Now I’m forty. I read Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy. This time, there is a flicker in Helen Fielding’s eyes, as if saying, “Yes, fifty-year-old women are just as old as you think, but they are even more attractive.”
