Ruth Harris

    Ruth Harris écrit sur des femmes fortes, avisées et pleines d'esprit qui luttent pour réussir et qui, lorsqu'elles n'obtiennent pas ce qu'elles désirent, découvrent souvent quelque chose de encore mieux. Ses romans, salués pour leur intrigue brillante et leur écriture stylée, ont été comparés à des autrices telles que Nora Ephron et Joan Didion. Elle co-écrit également des thrillers à succès avec son mari, mettant en scène des personnages saisissants et des intrigues internationales captivantes. L'approche narrative de Harris est profondément influencée par l'amour de ses parents pour le langage et la lecture.
