What to say about Flowers in the Attic, a book that's been written about multiple times....
It is the first in one of many series of books authored by V.C. Andrews, and since this series was written by Andrews and not her infamous ghostwriter, it is better, although it will never be mistaken for fine literature.
To sum up the story: four beautiful children live with their equally beautiful parents. When the father dies, the mother has no means of supporting herself, and throws herself on the mercy of her rich parents, who disowned her for marrying her half-uncle.
Because the children are the result of an incestuous relationship (although nothing is wrong with them) they are hidden away in an attic of the large mansion until the Grandfather, who doesn't know of their existence, dies.....or so they presume....
Yes, there is incest in here. It is not written erotically, but it's there and part of the storyline.
Although these days the books are being marketed toward younger readers, and despite having a young hero/heroine, the books are decidedly of adult subject matter.
This is book 1 of the 5 Dollanganger book series.
