Contemporary Chick Lit
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands
the job �a million girls would die for.� Hired as the
assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously
successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself
in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every
turn, a world populated by impossibly thin,
heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in
fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show
off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking
ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip
sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning
to complaints about �The Boss from Hell.� Narrated in
Andrea�s smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a
deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at
in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest
cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores
Harry Potter to Miranda�s children in Paris by private jet,
to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at
some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to
Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers,
Andrea is sorely tested each and every day�and often late
into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts
up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a
recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job
at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the
merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however,
Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would
die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has
to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.
