Neither knows if the other is still alive.

And though Lucinda is married too, it is immediately apparent that the feeling is mutual. Their journeys into work become lunch dates, which become cocktails and eventually lead to a rented room in a seedy hotel. They both know the risks they are taking, but not in their worst nightmares could they foresee what is to follow.

Primary Colors is a fictional account of a presidential primary campaign. The book is obviously based on the Clinton campaign in 1992 and it has the feel of an inside job. The details of the campaign and the portraits of the candidate, Jack Stanton and his wife Susan, seem like they must have been drawn by someone who viewed Bill and Hillary Clinton up close. One Clinton insider, on being asked if he wrote the book commented “I only wish I had. Unfortunately I don’t write that well”. Primary Colors is a stellar piece of writing. Not only does the anonymous author have a gift for prose, he also has a fine eye for characters and an intimate knowledge of politics. The author also has a subtle sense of humor, which is finely laced throughout the story.

This laugh-out-loud chronicle charts a year in the life of Bridget Jones, a single girl on a permanent, doomed quest for self-improvement–in which she resolves to: visit the gym three times a week not merely to buy a sandwich, form a functional relationship with a responsible adult, and not fall for any of the following: misogynists, megalomaniacs, adulterers, workaholics, chauvinists or perverts. And learn to program the VCR.
Caught between her Singleton friends, who are all convinced they will end up dying alone and found three weeks later half-eaten by an Alsatian, and the Smug Marrieds, whose dinner parties offer ever-new opportunities for humiliation, Bridget struggles to keep her life on an even keel (or at least afloat). Through it all, she will have her readers helpless with laughter and shouting, “BRIDGET JONES IS ME!”
