Our Curators said...
I would boldly claim that reading Bridget Jones's Diary is as much a part of being a modern woman as getting your first period, or buying your first hold-up stockings - before realising "hold up stocking" is a lie, and they always fall down. If you've only seen the movies, you'll be astonished how much cleverer and nuanced Bridget is on the page - she is constantly aware of how ridiculous and compromised her feminism is. I re-read this ever three years or so, and bark laughing. Finding "being a modern woman difficult" never dates. Only the sheer number of cigarettes smoked - my God, we were like beagles in the 90's - seems weird now.

What the Critics are Saying
A brilliant evocation of life as a single girl in a certain time . . . reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen, and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship or indeed a mother will read it and roar.
The Times
Luster is entirely remarkable, and the most delicious novel I've read. I couldn't get enough of Raven Leilani's starkly accurate portrayal of the nuances of being a young woman today.
Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie
Wild comedy . . . observed with merciless, flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book.
Sunday Times
Bridget Jones's Diary rings with the unmistakable tone of something that is true to the marrow. It defines what it describes.
