Product Description

Synopsis
From the author of Flowers in the Attic comes Book Three of the internationally bestselling Dollanganger family saga. The family was now living as far as possible from the haunting scenes of their past, and, in the sunshine and joy of their new life, with the children and their shared love, they tried to forget the anguish of their loveless inheritance. But the hidden secrets of the past rose up to trouble them. Their parents' dark heritage began to haunt them once more. The rage and hatred they felt returned to torment and twist the new generation. Only if they could forgive their mother and forgo their final revenge could they at last find the peace they so desperately sought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 1 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This story was a very worthy follow-up from Petals on the Wind. I couldnt put it down. Told from the perspective of Jory and Bart (Cathy's sons), this tells the story of their lives. Everything was fine until a mysterious old lady moves in next door, shattering the saftey bubble that Cathy and Chris had placed around their family. Bart takes a liking to this lady as he feels nobody understands him, and when she asks him to call her "Grandmother" and her butler "John Amos Jackson" starts to tell Bart tales of horror about his family things take a turn for the worse. Especially when the freaky butler gives him the journal of Malcolm Neal Foxworth and tells young Bart to read it every day. Jory suspects his brother is going crazy and all the family start to feel wary of him. Slowly the secrets that Cathy and Chris thought they had buried come to light and the family must cope in every way. This story has twists and turns in unlikley places and it is truly a thriller among thrillers. I cannot wait to start Seeds of Yesterday and then read the Prequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I found this book both gripping and emotional. An amazing folow-on from Flowers in the attic as the children try to carry on with their lives. I could not put it down and highly recomend it to anyone, Virginia Andrews Fans or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a V. C. Andrews original, so of course it's phenomenal, 8 April 1998
By A Customer
Well, I've noticed that a lot of V. C. Andrews books have many different review on them, but surprisingly, there is only one for If there be Thorns? This is Virginia's third published book and a helluva lot better than any of the ghost written books, so I don't understand why more people didn't review it? First of all, it starts off with male narrators, this is the only one with male narrators, but two!?!? I think this was very clever of Virginia to write about this. Everyone knows that the Dollanganger and Casteel and Audrina books are gothic horror, but we all know that the Dollanganer books are at her most gothic, and she defines it well in If there be thorns, I mean, Bart behaves so bizzare and weird. Jory is the perfect one, I could feel Malcolm's presence everywhere in it, just like in Seeds of Yesterday. Also, it has actual journal entries of Malcoml Foxworth himself! It's like he's narrating a small portion of the series. You learn more of the truth, you even get hints about the dreadful secrets revealed in Garden of Shadows in this book. It's one of the best of the eleven that Virginia wrote, the ghost written books are very good, but they will never be Virginia's novels. This is one of her 100% written novels, so it should be more widely admired and appreciated, at least more than ghost written books like Melody, Ruby, Tarnished Gold, Twillight's Chile, etc . . . feed back welcome. ~Tom Nordlum
