I am really enjoying this series, and cannot wait to read the next book
This was just as sad and heartbreaking as Flowers In The Attic, but perhaps even more so because it shows how difficult it is to let go of the past and trauma from childhood.
I’m glad Cathy managed to eventually get revenge on her mother, even if it didn’t work out how she originally intended it to.
Overall I think this was an excellent sequel to a brilliant first novel!
