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.

Sometimes I read books and I'm glad that my schooling was through the French (québecois) system and that I was therefore not exposed to them until much later in life, this one was such an instance.
Story : 4 kids get stuck in an attic because money... yeah, it's pretty sad. I was wondering how this book can make me interested, considering that everything happens in one place, but I was surprised... really intrigued by this story. The last pages made me so angry... I hope that SOMEONE, will rott in hell.
Characters : Cathy, Chris, Carrie and Cory are our leads and they are very likable! Cathy is just a girl, but after what happens, she must become an adult because if they can't go through this, than the little twins are dead. Something happens that made me disgusted and it can be explained, I guess, but God, I let the book down after that event. Their mother is a bitch, just like their grandmother... everyone just wants money, while these kids just want some fresh air.
Overall : This is a good book for this times... isolation, quarantine, things like that. I was hooked from start to finish, wondering what will happen to this poor fellas... I'm really sorry for them.
Não há como não adorar este livro. Porque sofremos com as personagens, porque faz-nos valorizar todas as coisas boas e corriqueiras que temos na nossa vida e nas quais não pensamos porque já tomamos como garantidas.
Faz-nos questionar o amor de uma mãe, a cima de tudo remete-nos para um estado de reflexão. Estou com muitas perguntas relativamente à índole do ser humano.
Fenomenal, preciso de ler o segundo volume ASAP!!
This actually wasn't all that bad. I really liked the children characters and it's an interesting take on what happens when children are just locked away and abused.
