Learn about the real-life dress that inspired Ruth Reichl to write about a woman’s transformation in 1980s Paris. Her former book editor encouraged her to deep dive into her own time in Paris — the characters, the shops, the restaurants. Sadly, her friend passed away before the book was published. “I can put everything I really love into this book,” says Ruth. “I can put art and literature and fashion and food. It can all be there. And it was like this great gift that she gave me.” A gift she passed on to her many readers.
