When Aurore Gerritsen watched her lover kill her father, it
was just one act of violence in a long chain of dramatic events.
Years later, behind the iron lace gates of wealthy New
Orleans, beneath the veneer of her society name, linger
secrets that Aurore Gerritsen has hidden for a lifetime, and
truths that threaten to change forever the lives of her
unsuspecting family. Now, as Aurore faces her own mortality,
she needs to reveal those secrets that have haunted her for
so many years.
Aurore seeks out Phillip Benedict and asks him to tell her
story. He's intrigued, but wonders why the matriarch of a
prominent white family would choose to confess her sins to
an outspoken black journalist.
Finally Phillip agrees, but though he thinks he's ready for
anything she might say, the truth is that nothing can
prepare him for the impact of Aurore's shocking revelations.
Iron Lace is a fantastic book, I'm so happy it's being re-released and I look forward to the re-release of Rising Tides, the sequel to Iron Lace. Iron Lace is the kind of book you get lost in, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes to get lost in historical fiction. (Terri Kelley 10:40pm August 19, 2010)
