"Which one of you bitches is my mother?"
Four elegant, successful, and sophisticated women in their forties
are called to New York's Pierre Hotel to meet Lili -- a beautiful,
young, and notoriously temperamental Hollywood movie star. None of
the women knows exactly why she is there; each has a reason to hate
Lili and each of them is astonished to see the others. They are old
friends who share a guilty secret and who have for years been doing
their best to keep that secret quiet. Their lives are changed
forever, however, when Lili suddenly confronts them. When the women
refuse to answer her, Lili proceeds to travel around the world
through the playgrounds of the rich and famous, seeking to answer
the question that has obsessed and almost destroyed her.
From Paris to London, from the boardroom to the bedroom, "Lace"
takes the reader into the rarified world of five unforgettable
women who are as beautiful, as complex and as strong as...lace.
