Petals On The Wind Movie
VC Andrews - now isn't she an interesting author? Purists and moralists scoff at the late VC Andrews, but they seem to overlook just how much the author managed to capture the imaginations of teenaged girls with her books. I'm not immuned, even when there are only two VC Andrews books that I can reread on a regular basis - Flowers In The Attic and the sequel Petals On The Wind The rest are mere clones of these two really great testaments to the author's genius.
Petals On The Wind - Fun Facts, Questions, Answers, Information Check out the wonderfully sinister character posters for Cathy, Chris and Corrine Dollanganger as well as “Holy Hag” Grandma Olivia Foxworth from Lifetime’s much-anticipated movie Petals on the Wind , a sequel to their hugely successful adaptation of V. C. Andrews’ gothic classic, Flowers in the Attic Petals on the Wind, V.C. Andrews / Pocket Books, 2014 (repackaged edition of the classic 1980 novel)
On the bright side, as was the case with the new adaptation of Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind does make a strong effort to capture the source material. If you were to make a timeline of major events within the second novel of V.C. Andrews’ Dollanganger series, you’ll find that many of the key moments (or versions of them) do make it into the TV movie. But the pacing is rushed and jerky, and the jump forward doesn’t allow us much time to re-immerse ourselves into the story or get to know these characters ten years after the events of Flowers in the Attic.
Petals On The Wind picks up from where the first book ends. This time around, poor Catherine! She just wants to be a ballerina, but her own brother Christopher is hopelessly in love with her. Oh yes, you read that right, if this incest angle isn't open knowledge by now. Before you recoil though, let me say that a young girl's most illicit fantasies made life and morality don't really go together, just like how morality and sexual fantasies rarely make comfortable bedpartners. And this book is definitely the book that started the whole Mary Sue nonsense and drove legions of teenage girls into writing breathless fanfiction starring dark and dangerous unattainable men.
