New Bridget Jones book on the way, plus musical & movie
Nov 12 2012
Author Helen Fielding announced on U.K. radio today that the perennially lovelorn Bridget Jones will return for a third installment.
"The new novel is set in present-day London, with an entirely new scenario for Bridget," Fielding said on the show Women's Hour Friday. "If people laugh as much reading it as I am while writing it then we’ll all be very happy."
