Flores en el atico / Flowers in the Attic

Virginia C. Andrews

Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read

El libro en que el se basa la exitosa adaptacion televisiva Flores en el atico, un best seller clasico sobre la terrible experiencia vivida por cuatro ninos que crecen en un lugubre encierro, aislados del mundo…

Desde su publicacion en ingles en 1979, Flores en el atico se convirtio en un fulminante best seller y fue adaptada al cine con gran exito.

Corre el ano 1957, y los Dollanganger parecen una familia perfecta que vive sin preocupaciones en su idilica casa de Gladstone, Pensilvania… hasta que la tragedia llama a su puerta. Ocurre el dia en que Christopher, el patriarca de la familia, muere en un accidente. Su viuda, Corrine, debe hacer frente al peso de una gran deuda que no puede asumir. Su unica opcion: regresar a la mansion de sus acaudalados padres en busca de ayuda. Su madre, Olivia Foxworth, la acoge bajo la cruel condicion de que los ninos se escondan en el desvan.

De esta forma empieza el tormento de los hermanos Dollanganger -Cathy, Chris y los gemelos Carrie y Cory-, victimas inocentes de pasiones prohibidas y condenados a vivir aislados del mundo.

La critica ha dicho…
Bello, macabro y meticulosamente cruel… Evoca el lado mas oscuro de cuentos como La caperucita roja o Hansel y Gretel con un toque victoriano.

At the top of the stairs there are four secrets hidden. Blond, beautiful, innocent, and struggling to stay alive …

Now, for the sake of an inheritance that will ensure their future, the children must be hidden away out of sight, as if they never existed. Kept on the top floor of their grandmother’s vast mansion, their loving mother assures them it will be just for a little while.
