About this listen

 An abandoned young girl finds herself at the mercy of a mysterious woman who is not quite what she seems in this atmospheric and unputdownable novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Flowers in the Attic—now a popular Lifetimemovie.

Left on a train platform in an unfamiliar village, little Saffron Faith Anders is certain her father will return shortly, just like he promised. She holds out hope even as the hours pass and the station grows dark. When a strange old woman with a large umbrella approaches and inquiries about her situation, Saffron doesn’t immediately trust the imposing do-gooder, but with the chances of her father returning growing ever slimmer, she agrees to rest at the old woman’s house.

Her stay was supposed to be for a few minutes, hours at most, but soon, Saffron soon realizes she has been confined to a house of dark secrets and is now at the mercy of the enigmatic Umbrella Lady. One minute grandmotherly and the next wickedly cruel, she shears Saffron’s hair, burns all the clothes she had in her suitcase, and pretends that the photo of a young girl hanging on her bedroom wall is no one in particular. When strange letters arrive from Saffron’s father, claiming that he will send for her shortly, hope returns to her young heart. But Saffron soon discovers that those who claim to love you will often hurt you the most. Family Life Genre Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Heartfelt

This was slow to start and took a while to get through, although not so bad in the end. I prefer origianal Virgina Andrews and find these newer ones are not up to her old standard.

The narrator was good and perfect for this kinda V C book. The story did not take the turn i thought to begin with. Not loads happens but its a good book and it has a great way of unpacking the story while keeping you guessing and waiting. All i can say is i hope there is a book 2 cause seems this could turn into a good series. 5 🌟 all round

This had the REAL vc Andrews feel to it
