A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses. 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. --> Genre: Literary Fiction Humour
