Riassunto

From the bestselling author of ‘Flowers in the Attic’ comes the first book in the series centred around the Casteel family and its dark and mysterious past.

Repackaged to attract a new generation of Andrews’ fans

HER NAME WAS HEAVEN, HER LIFE WAS ANYTHING BUT

Heaven’s mother Angel had died in childbirth, and from that moment her father turned against her. Her only allies, it seemed, were her four half-brothers and sisters.

When their father, poor and desperate, sold them to strangers, Heaven was left alone and friendless. Her only hope was to reunite her family. But how?

So begins the heartbreaking, magical story of the Casteel family, continued in ‘Dark Angel’, ‘Fallen Hearts’, ‘Gates of Paradise’ and ‘Web of Dreams’.

Recensione:

Praise for Viginia Andrews:

‘Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty... it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. ... What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child’s eyes’ Daily Express

‘Makes horror irresistible’ Glasgow Sunday Mail

‘A gruesome saga... the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down’ Ms London

‘There is strength in her books – the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped’ The Times
