Petals on the Wind

By: V.C. Andrews

Narrated by: Joy Osmanski

The captivating and unforgettable saga of the Dollanganger family continues in Petals On the Wind, the New York Times bestselling sequel to Flowers in the Attic and the inspiration behind the Lifetime original movie and “tortured love story” (Variety).

Forbidden love comes into full bloom. For three years they were kept hidden in the eaves of Foxworth Hall, their existence all but denied by a mother who schemed to inherit a fortune. For three years their fate was in the hands of their righteous, merciless grandmother. They had to stay strong…but in their hopeless world, Cathy and her brother, Christopher, discovered blossoming desires that tumbled into a powerful obsession. Now, with their frail sister, Carrie, they have broken free and scraped together enough for three bus tickets and a chance at a new life. The horrors of the attic are behind them…but they will carry its legacy of dark secrets forever.

Amazing Narration

The story itself touched on some topics that can be triggering but it does a great job of addressing topics regarding abuse and trauma. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Joy Osmanski narrating as Mena Suvari narrated the first book but I loved how she had a unique voice for each character, and whenever she’d read parts for Carrie and other younger characters, it sounded exactly like her voice for Jing on Duncanville.

A very good sequel

This book picks up where flowers in the attic ends. Then perfectly jumps years ahold. While there are something I didn’t honestly like. I really did like this book overall.

Great story terrible narrrator

Love the story but the narrator could’ve used a male co narrator for the male voices. Hated Chris’s voice in this. They need to re- record this audio book.

You can’t go back

I did not like the narration. I loved this book as a kid many years ago but it has lost something over the years…

Heartache

this author is fantastic! Read as a teenager and now again at 56. most excellent series ever.
