Commentary To Books Lace (Lace #1)
The first time I read this I was 11 years old (yes, really) because I had finished reading the stack of books I'd taken out of the library and, as I often did when I sped through my tower of borrowed books, I stole a book off of my parents' shelves.This was hardly shocking to me at 11, until I got the chapter where the Arab prince is pleasuring his concubine, and that image has since stayed with me in a weird way. I learned about things reading books that were not meant for me long before I should've known any of these things. Even now I'm not sure I ever needed half of that information.
That being said, the book is entertaining. It's got that overly dramatic, shoulder-padded glamour that embodied the 80's and it's fun to delve into the scandalous lives of these women and their adventures through life.
Though it's been a while since the last time I've read this, I remember it being a fun and campy ride and is a great companion to your fancy umbrella drink as you lounge poolside.

We've all heard lines in movies that have stuck with us forever, but this was the first time I'd read a book and had that happen to me! My love of literature began early in my life, but Shirley Conrans' Lace was one of the first novels that got me excited and hence I remember it vividly (although I re-read it recently, just to be sure you see). But as an enthusiastic teen I read the book and then I awaited the mini-series of the
"Oh, God! Does the whole world revolve around sex and money?""Yes."I remember reading this when it came out. I was newly married and in my early twenties. I have to say I probably enjoyed it more then. It's a decent enough read for about 50% of it, but 751 pages was a bit much this time around. If you've reached the 400 page mark and still haven't said what you wanted to say, go back and edit--mercilessly; you've bitten off more than the average reader is prepared to chew. To be brutally honest,
Four elegant, successful, sophisticated women in their forties have been called to New York to meet Lili, the world-famous movie actress.Already a legend despite her youth, Lili is beautiful, passionate, notoriously temperamental... Each of the four has a reason to hate Lili. And each of them is astonished to see the others; for they are old friends who first met in school, old friends who share a guilty secret - old friends whose lives are changed when Lili suddenly confronts them and asks,
my long time favorite.... the plot was great. It was full of twists and excitement... I read this long time ago and I wanted to have a copy of this again. It's worth reading and I feel like reading it again. I'm amazed how the four girlfriends hid their secret for such a long time.... and how the story reveals the same.
Awesome novel! Very well written and kept me surprised and very interested. I would recommend it to anyone. Warning... There is a second novel called Lace 2 (how original, right?) I'm telling you, do not google it and ruin the plot event for yourself. Turns out it was a television series back in the day. Naturally my curiosity got the best of me as I was trying to figure out what the second book was called and came across BIG AND BOLD the whole premise the story is based on. I was only half way
Read repeatedly when I was a teenager!
