sarahkomas 's review for:
Lace
by Shirley Conran
Better than I'd thought it would be when I read the back cover and realised it was compared to Jackie Collins, just bringing back bad memories of running out of books at the end of holidays (in the days before kindles) and being forced to read the bonkbusters deposited at the courier's tent. In spite of the fact that I seemed to spend a large part of the 700+ pages skipping past awkward sex scenes while trying not to miss essential plotpoints (and though I think Conran uses the word "breasts" roughly every other page, which grated after the first few times [as did her use of "avuncular" - fair enough once or twice, but at least 3 times? really?]), it was actually quite a good story in terms of plot and characters, and so not wholly without merit.
