The children finally escape out an attic window… While the children are now to be set free of the attic, their mother has instead abandoned them to the care (ha ha) of their cruel grandmother.
Basically, the over closeness of the children causes the two older siblings to become a little too close, and in the mother’s twisted obsession with her inheritance, she tries, and succeeds in poisoning one of her children, Cory dies at the age of 6.įlash forward to the Grandfather dying, and the mother has now met a man who also has money and she has told him that she was unable to have children. In the attic, are the two older siblings, Chris and Cathy (who are in their upper teenage years), and the twins Cory and Carrie, who are 5 when they enter the attic. The children must be kept hidden until the grandfather’s passing. The grandmother allows her to stay with stipulations, in order for the mother to get her inheritance, the now sickly grandfather was never to know that children were born of this union. When the children’s father is killed in a car accident, the mother has no choice but to return to her childhood home which she hated, looking for help to survive. To bring you up to speed… Flowers in the attic is about four children that are placed in the attic of their very rich grandparents home and kept there for two years due to their mother marrying a man who was practically her brother and the grandmother saying the children were the devil’s spawn.
Recently, I discovered that Petals On The Wind (the second book) was now a movie as well. I reread it because the movie was coming out and I wanted to have the story line fresh in my head. in fact last year, my first book of the year was the first book in this series, Flowers In The Attic.
