The iconic book that inspired the film of the same name, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prada is a twisted story about a boss from hell and the deals we're willing to make with the devil to achieve success.
Andrea Sachs has just graduated from college and landed many women's dream job: she'll be the newest assistant to Miranda Priestly, the legendary editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Suddenly, she finds herself working in an editorial office surrounded by designer labels: Prada! Gucci! Chanel! A world inhabited by incredibly thin, stylish women and men in tight-fitting clothes that reveal years of dedication to the gym. And one look from the powerful Miranda is enough for all these people to fall at her feet. The editor is a feared and respected figure who, in addition, makes the lives of her subordinates a living hell.
Despite the pressure of working at the world's most prestigious fashion magazine, Andrea handles it all with a lighthearted and playful manner. Amidst the glamour of fashion, which mere mortals only experience through magazines, she fulfills her boss's most absurd demands: she jets unreleased books to her daughters in Paris, searches for an antique shop where Miranda might have seen a wonderful piece (even though she can't quite remember what she saw or where), and serves coffee at the perfect temperature. All this 24 hours a day!
Andrea's sole goal is to secure Miranda's professional recommendation to secure a writing position at the New Yorker . But the price of her dream job may be higher than she's willing to pay.
An iconic book that inspired one of pop culture's most influential film adaptations, The Devil Wears Prada is a terrifying yet quite commonplace story about the pacts we are capable of making with the devil to achieve success in life.
