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.

THE SCANDALOUS CLASSIC THAT DEFINED AN ERA - THREE MILLION COPIES SOLD

Reviews
Lace gave me prolonged pleasure -- Helen Fielding
There was life before Lace and life after Lace, and nothing was ever the same again. I envy anyone who hasn't read it -- India Knight
Sex, glamour, and bitchery to an epic degree. Lace is the classic that secured Shirley Conran's place in the same high-octane sorority as Jackie Collins, Judith Krantz and Jacqueline Susann, and it still thrills. It changed my life -- J.J. Salem, author of Tan Lines
As sexy and smart now as the first day it came out -- Lauren Laverne
A gorgeous, glorious, ground-breaking saga of sex, scandal and family secrets. Here is the return of an awesome blockbuster classic, as fearless and fabulous as it was thirty years ago. Lace is the definitive drama of passion, friendship, intrigue and betrayal. It is hands-down one of the best things to come out of the eighties. I adore it -- Victoria Fox, author of Hollywood Sinners
Lace features women you would be proud to call friends. Pick up this book and be sucked into the lives of four female characters who use their own intelligence and confidence to get ahead by themselves. I've loved Lace since I was a teenager and it's still as gripping as it ever was -- Harriet Evans, author of The Love of Her Life
A big, brash, bouncy book * * Mail on Sunday * *
Money and sex is what Lace is about - clothes, decor and haute cuisine * * Sunday Times * *
In its gloriously melodramatic way, the book showed a group of bright, aspirational women making sense of their sexuality while fighting to the top of their professional trees -- Helen Brown * * The Daily Telegraph * *
Superwoman author, Shirley Conran, has really hit the literary jackpot . . . you can spend a few enjoyable hours finding out if it's more than sex and scandal that's the secret of its success * * News of the World * *
