Bridget Jones, uma mulher de trinta anos, decide, entre as resoluções de Ano Novo escrever um diário. Bridget revela, a cada capítulo, as suas qualidades e os seus defeitos, além de expor com muito humor situações que fazem parte do dia-a-dia de várias mulheres nesta mesma faixa de idade: problemas com o trabalho, a busca do homem ideal etc. Cada capítulo do livro trata de um determinado dia na vida desta anti-heroína, que sempre inicia o seu relato contabilizando o peso e as calorias, cigarros e unidades alcoólicas que consumiu no dia anterior.

Jakob arrives at the Institute Benjamenta (run by brother and sister Johannes and Lisa Benjamenta) to learn to become a servant. With seven other men, he studies under Lisa: absurd lessons of movement, drawing circles, and servility. He asks for a better room. No other students arrive and none leave for employment. Johannes is unhappy, imperious, and detached from the school's operation. Lisa is beautiful, at first tightly controlled, then on the verge of breakdown. There's a whiff of incest. Jakob is drawn to Lisa, and perhaps she to him. As winter sets in, she becomes catatonic. Things get worse; Johannes notes that all this has happened since Jakob came. Is there any cause and effect?
