In the Garden of Shadows prequel, young Olivia arrives at Foxworth Hall thinking her marriage to handsome Malcolm will bring the joy she has longed for. But in the gloomy mansion filled with festering desires and forbidden passions, a shocking secret lives. A secret that will taint the Foxworth family for generations to come.

I nearly quit my reread of this old book. The language is so dated and I was sure I wouldn't enjoy it at all. The regular uses of "golly" and "for" this and that were a bit annoying but by the time the kids were locked in the attic a while, I was hooked again, just like I was as a teenager.

Yes, this old-ish lady bought the sequel, [b:Petals on the Wind|226709|Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger, #2)|V.C. Andrews|https:images.gr-assets.com/books/1388176436s/226709.jpg|3311862] this morning, too. I can't remember if I read past book three all those years ago, and I won't commit to reading past book two now, but I suppose some stories are truly timeless. What's not to love about a well-done evil mother revenge story?

From the time I first read this series to the last time it has kept me engrossed with the twists and turns of the Dollanganger family.

Love the ending. I was kind of nervous, I thought the grandmother or the mother would caught them, like in the movies, but this ending is perfect. Didnt like the rape part and i like the twist where it was the mother not the grandmother that was poison her kids. Have to read the rest of the books
