About this listen

 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. Classics Coming of Age Genre Fiction Gothic Horror Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary Fiction Exciting

I read this many years ago when i was in my teens and then went on to read the following books in the series. This first book still held my attention even now.
The narration is quite good. and successfully takes you in to the attic. My one disappointment is that I can't find Book Two Petals in the wind.

Great yet disturbing Where is book 2?

Rereading these some 40 years after reading them for the first time. It’s striking how now this reads as a perfect analogy for gen x kids of boomer parents! It’s really annoying that all of the series is available on audible except book 2 which I remember really enjoying. Please get it sorted Audible!!

Rereading for nostalgia

I’ve listened to this story 3 times over, and seen films twice the way V.C Andrews writes really grabs you. The narrator really emerges you with all the characters and accents she preforms

Great story great reading! V.C Andrews is a talented writer and can really draw you in to this story
