Flowers in the Attic

40th Anniversary Edition

By: V.C. Andrews, Gillian Flynn - introduction

Narrated by: Mena Suvari

Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the enduring gothic masterpiece Flowers in the Attic—the unforgettable forbidden love story that earned V.C. Andrews a fiercely devoted fan base and became an international cult classic.

At the top of the stairs there are four secrets hidden—blond, innocent, and fighting for their lives…

They were a perfect and beautiful family—until a heartbreaking tragedy shattered their happiness. Now, for the sake of an inheritance that will ensure their future, the children must be hidden away out of sight, as if they never existed. They are kept in the attic of their grandmother’s labyrinthine mansion, isolated and alone. As the visits from their seemingly unconcerned mother slowly dwindle, the four children grow ever closer and depend upon one another to survive both this cramped world and their cruel grandmother. A suspenseful and thrilling tale of family, greed, murder, and forbidden love, Flowers in the Attic is the unputdownable first novel of the epic Dollanganger family saga.

The Dollanganger series includes: Flowers in the Attic, Petals in the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, Garden of Shadows, Beneath the Attic, and Out of the Attic.

Phenomenal

This was so better than I remembered of the movie!!! Such a great story and a wonderful job by the reader!! I recommend this to everyone!!!!

Highly recommend audio

Narrator is perfection and makes the awful, salacious writing really enjoyable! Still couldn’t stop listening.

Fast Forward the Foreword!

This book was mostly ruined for me when I discovered the darkest secret of the story during the foreword. I read on, but I knew what was coming, so it wasn’t as riveting. If you like vicious, self-righteous, evil monsters that are unfathomably cruel, this book is for you.

Perfect!!

I read the paperback version of this and the sequels when they came out 40 years ago. The narrator was so good that I could imagine I was Cathy.... then and now. I can't wait until the next book is released on the 29th.

Rough

If you are like me and cannot handle shrill voices, stay away from this narrators Carrie voice . However, she does a wonderful job with the voice of the main character.
