What this book is about
Andy Sachs, a journalism-school graduate, lands a job as second assistant to Miranda Priestly, the terrifying editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. Miranda's demands are impossible, absurd, and unrelenting. Andy endures them because a year at Runway opens every door in media. Weisberger's roman à clef (loosely based on her own experience assisting Anna Wintour) is a page-turning portrait of ambition, fashion's cruelty, and the compromises we make to get where we think we want to go.
