A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Everyone Says
Her Mother Was Crazy.
Is She Doomed to Repeat the Past?

Up in the attic, that's where Alice's mother used to escape to...and it's where, so Alice has been told, she plotted the murder of her own stepfather. Now, years later, with her mother locked away for life, the attic is where Alice finds comfort in her aloneness, writing poetry and painting pictures. When Alice finally finds the courage to come out of her shell, exchanging her dowdy looks for flattering clothes and makeup, her life completely opens up -- she even attends the prom with a cute, popular boy. But it's a night that turns quickly tragic -- sending her newfound happiness crashing down around her, and hurtling Alice into a shattering new life, one that leads her to a shocking reunion with the shadows she had fled.

From the imagination behind Flowers in the Attic comes a sensational new novel that spins a seductive web between fantasies and lies -- and uncovers the price for keeping secrets in the shadows.

Quatrième de couverture

I sat in the attic and tried with all my imaginative powers to see my mother standing there. I envisioned her turning to me and smiling.
'I knew you would come up here,' she would say. 'I always had faith that some day you would come to my defence. You'll find a way to show them all. You'll set me free so I can walk out of here, out of the attic. Finally, we'll be together, mother and daughter. I'll be there at your side when you fall in love and get married and have children of your own. And then I'll make sure that you never, ever get trapped in any attic.'
Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I wished I could lock her forever and ever in my eyes, my mind and my heart.
And she would never disappear again.
