Description

WHICH ONE OF YOU BITCHES IS MY MOTHER?

1980. In Manhattan's most exclusive hotel, four friends come face to face with a young, mega-watt film star. She has a question for them that has brought her from the streets of Paris to the playgrounds of the rich and famous – and it has almost destroyed her.

Kate, Maxine, Judy and Pagan have soared to the top in fashion, PR and interior design. Now they are forced to look back at their lives: their wicked behaviour at school, the building of careers and the breaking of hearts. These women have never questioned their friendship, but now they must answer to Lili.

Lace is the book that every mother kept hidden from her daughter. Originally published in 1982, it is the debut novel from the million-copy bestselling author of Superwoman.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critical acclaim highlights: "Sex, glamour, and bitchery to an epic degree" that secured Conran's place alongside Jackie Collins and Judith Krantz. Praised as a ground-breaking saga with enduring appeal, it remains as "sexy and smart" decades after its first publication. Reviewers celebrate its compelling, confident female characters and its gripping drama of passion, family secrets, and friendship. Esteemed authors and critics express lasting admiration, from Helen Fielding's prolonged pleasure to India Knight’s envy of newcomers discovering it for the first time.
