Ruth Harris crafts stories centered on strong, savvy, and witty women navigating challenges, often discovering something greater when their initial desires fall short. Her novels, lauded for brilliant plotting and stylish writing, have drawn comparisons to literary figures like Nora Ephron and Joan Didion. She also co-authors bestselling thrillers with her husband, featuring vivid characters and compelling international plots. Harris's narrative approach is deeply influenced by her parents' profound love for language and reading.
Harris traces the histories of three women, their careers, lovers and husbands, along the tumultuous timelines of the '60s and '70s as they seek fame and fortune in the New York publishing and journalistic milieu.
