Four women in their forties - elegant, successful, sophisticated - have been called to the Pierre Hotel in New York to meet Lili, the world famous film star. Already a legend, despite her youth, Lili is beautiful, passionate-and notoriously temperamental... Each of the four has reason to hate Lili. Each is astonished to see the others. For Pagan, the quiet English aristocrat, Kate, the bestselling writer, Maxine, the haute bourgeoise Parisienne, and Judy, the tough editor-in-chief of America's most outspoken women's magazine, are old friends who first met at school, old friends who share a guilty secret, and old friends whose lives are suddenly changed when Lili confronts them with the startling question, 'Which one of you bitches is my mother?' The answer to this question - a question that has obsessed and almost destroyed Lili lies at the heart o£Lace. From the elegant Swiss finishing school in Gstaad to the glittering places where the rich and successful congregate, the book traces not only the fortunes of Lili herself — abandoned, seduced, exploited, yet at last rising to triumph as a star - but the lives of the four women, one of whom is her mother. Shirley Conran has captured the intimate secrets, the guilts and passions of every woman who has experienced the childhood dreams of great romance, and the realities of womanhood. The result is a spell-binding novel of femininity - as fragile as lace, as intricately woven, as subtle, and as strong. Shirley Conran was born in London, the eldest of six children. She trained originally as a sculptor and textile designer, and first worked as an industrial designer. She started writing as a journalist when she became design consultant to the London Daily Mail, and she subsequently became an editor for the Daily Mail and for the Observer. Her first book, Superwoman, selling more than a million copies worldwide, was followed by three further bestsellers, Superwoman 2, Superwoman Yearbook and Futures. Lace is her first novel. Shirley and her former husband, multimillionaire Terence Conran, have two sons. Jasper and Sebastian, both of whom are designers.
