    Default Virginia Andrews

    Virginia C. Andrews, was an American novelist. She was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, and died of breast cancer at the age of 63.

    Her novels combine Gothic horror and family saga, revolving around family secrets and forbidden love and they often include a rags-to-riches story.

    Her novels were so successful that after her death her estate hired a ghost writer Andrew Neiderman, to write more stories to be published under her name.

    Virginia Andrews - Flowers in the Attic

    Corrine and her children move out of Gladstone without a goodbye to any friends and take a train to her parents' mansion. They are dropped off by the train in the middle of nowhere and they end up walking to Foxworth Hall. When the children get settled into their room, Corinne is taken to speak to her mother in private. When she returns to her children, she has been savagely horse whipped by Olivia, who explains to the children that their parents were half-uncle and niece; their father had been Malcolm's half-brother, the son of Garland Foxworth and his second wife Alicia. If Corinne has any hope of gaining her father's approval, the existence of the children must be kept secret. The children are told that they must remain in seclusion in the end bedroom and the attic of their grandparents' vast mansion until Malcolm’s death.

    The children are kept in the attic - such a horrendous story but so true in feeling and very emotive book.

    I had to read the following books in the same series - Petals on the Wind,
    If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday and Garden of Shadows (of which her ghost writer had to finish as she died).

    Personally, I think that reading a book you take more in as you are reading descriptions rather than looking and watching a film.

    I've always found books better than the films.
