Petals On The Wind
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.
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)
I’m not going to nitpick all of the little changes that were made from the book to the screen, but there were a few notable adjustments to the story for the movie. Petals on the Wind follows up on Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic TV movie, which told the story of four siblings forced to live in a secluded bedroom of a grand mansion for years while their widowed mother attempts to regain a place in her father’s will. Lifetime’s new TV movie jumps ahead to 1970, when Cathy is on the verge of pursuing a career as a dancer. Chris (Wyatt Nash) is a third year med student. And Carrie (Bailey Buntain) is attending a prestigious prep school.
