New 'Bridget Jones' book to release in October

A new Bridget Jones novel is set to be released on October 11.
"Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries" will accompany the new film "Bridget Jones's Baby", which follows Bridget becoming a first time mother.
Fans had previously thought that no new book was on the way, after the last installment "Mad About the Boy" was released in 2013, reported BBC.
Author Helen Fielding said, "At heart, Bridget Jones is about the gap between how we all feel we're expected to be and how we actually are; and - as Bridget discovers with her somewhat bumpy pregnancy - how we expect life to turn out and how it actually does."

"I am excited to see Bridget's world on the big screen again, and delighted to be published by Jonathan Cape."
The last Bridget Jones novel, "Mad About The Boy", was set years into the future, after the death of Bridget's husband Mark Darcy.

But the new book will see Bridget dealing with her unexpected pregnancy and trying to figure out who her baby's father is.
Fielding's first novel "Bridget Jones Diary" was published in 1996 and became an international best-seller.
It was followed by sequel "Bridget Jones: the Edge of Reason" in 1999. Both books were made into films starring Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth.
