From Cathy’s cynic POV, the experience of being locked up in a small room by her heartless and God- fearing grandmother became claustrophobic and paranoia inducing. Very detailed and longing and the language was beautiful, but this book would be like a dark and twisted and screwed up version of Jane Austen LOL. The style of the book felt like a Jane Austen novel. I was given the impression, before reading the book, that it was a lot Still, I was surprised and completely disturbed by the events that took place. I also found that the book, in my opinion, was over-hyped because of one of the main points of the book involving incest. I didn’t realize just how abusive the grandmother was toward the Dolls and how much their mother neglected to the point that they didn’t exist to her.
On one hand, there was a lot that happened that I didn’t know about before reading this book. I’m still reeling from how messed up this book was. Where does one end and the other start, and how do you tell when love is the blindest of all? Truth…I kept believing it falls always from the lips of the one you love and trust the most.įaith…it’s all bound up to love and trust. The secrets of Foxworth deepen as the kids become one of them with no hope of ever being free, but of becoming one of their fake flowers they sprouted in their fake garden in the attic, always blooming and wilting with hopelessness. The kids, in their cramped world of hopeless and depressing dreams Cathy and Chris are growing, adult desires and needs stir within while the twins scarily remain the same while under the watchful eye of their evil, abusive grandmother, and of course God, because the Devil works in devious ways.
Days passed and then weeks and then months and even long, agonizing years. Mother loved her kids, but her family’s fortune was at stake and if she had any hopes of getting it from her dying father, she can’t have children. There, the kids: Chris, Cathy, Carrie and Corrie are moved into a guest room where they’re hidden away with only an attic of fake flowers and fake dreams to run away to.
We should have been careful.Īfter the death of their father, the Dollanganger kids move to Foxworth manor with their mother.
