But in the gloomy mansion filled with hidden rooms and festering desires, a stain of jealous obsession begins to spread...an evil that will threaten her children, two lovely boys and one very special, beautiful girl. For within one innocent child, a shocking secret lives...a secret that will taint the proud Foxworth name, and haunt all their lives forever!

Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the blazing fireplace. There were rides in the woods on Peter the Great, the races with Danny Trevort. Maybe best of all were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there was sadness too - the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister got married, the tragic death of a schoolmate, and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Sometimes it all seemed like too much to handle.

Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the blazing fireplace. There were rides in the woods on Peter the Great, the races with Danny Trevort. Maybe best of all were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there was sadness too - the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister got married, the tragic death of a schoolmate, and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Sometimes it all seemed like too much to handle.

Garden of Shadows (a.k.a.) The Origins
was amazing from start to finish by the time the book was finished I was ready for some more.
this family is intriguing incestuous and religious no matter what age you are this is still a powerful cocktail.

Wonderfully Narration! A must read for anyone who is a fan of “Flowers in The Attic!” I read these books years ago and I was thrilled to learn of this book FINALLY getting its own audio edition. I have listened to the complete series in audiobook and you should too.
As a side note: The new Lifetime movie “Flowers in The Attic: The Origin” for which “Garden of Shadows” is based steers so far the book it’s ridiculously disappointing.
I am currently watching & it’s a good little TV movie ONLY IF you have NEVER READ THE BOOK. Anyone that has read the book prior to seeing the movie know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.
I truly wished the movie stayed remotely close to the source material sadly it did NOT.
Olivia in physical description & temperament is nothing at all portrayed on tv as in the book. I do understand TV movies do stray from novels but to delve that far from the author’s vision… “An Abomination!”
V.C Andrews fans READ THE BOOK!

Great narration! I always liked the story
This Narrator has been my absolute favorite! I never thought about listening to someone’s reading voice until Audible! A reading voice is much different than a regular speaking voice. It has to be pleasant in the way that it doesn’t distract from the story and almost makes you forget another person is reading it to you rather than the words just manifest into your conscious self. I am sure I’m explaining that wrong 😑.
I have read VC Andrews a million times, starting from the age of 12 or so and always liked the stories. As an adult looking back, I’m surprised how taboo the subject matter is and especially the number of people I find out who also read her books in their preteen years! We all seem to be relatively normal…Congrats all! I think most of us were advanced readers for our ages and this was drama & romance that were “safe” because it was very unlikely that anything remotely like any of that would be a part of our lives. Big, fancy houses, beautiful dresses, beautiful people, having someone wait on you hand & foot…it’s all like a soap opera (if anyone knows what those are anymore) in book form! Of course, the subject matter is more sensitive today than in the 80’s I think but if you read the entire book and understand the why…then you get it. Not to condone but to understand cause and effect.
Ok! Sorry I have went on & on. I recommend you read the entire series (look online for the order/additional characters book series etc). And whether you saw any of the movies or not, don’t skip a book! Happy Listening! Many Blessings 🙏🇺🇸

A well narrated book!
This book does not seem to be a thriller. It started well but then I listened to full book hoping there will be some twist or turn or suspense, but nothing. It was just day to day life of a married couple with their love and struggles. I was expecting it to be a psychological thriller. It is neither psychological nor thriller.
