I read this whole series when I was in 7th grade. (My sister had read them first and loved them) It is quite a story. I actually did a book report/presentation in class on the first novel”Garden of Shadows” My teacher said “those books are basically pornography “ & I had to come in defense of the characters & convince her to let me do it.
Oh those sure as hell are disturbing and provocative, but downright pornography? 🤔 I’ll have to disagree with your teacher there) Glad you could make the report. The books are written well and serve as a window into the life of some messed up family, in my opinion. Analysing this must have been a challenging treat!
She's got issues. ALL of her books regard issues with things like this. I try to remember that she was also from a time when family SA happened... a lot. They just kept it hush-hush. Now, an author that truly horrified me. Like reading the single book made me want to wash my mind. Poppy Z. Brite "Lost Souls". It was months to get the imagery to go away. It's just on the list of never ever again. And I've read all of VC Andrews originals & some of the daughters furthermore works under the name. 😂
This was such a good break down of this complex book series!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!🥰

Curious 🤨! And.. tremendously sad, of course.
