![]() When his wife still loved him, he flirted with other, prettier women in front of her eyes and let them mock her without saying a word. He never got over his mother leaving him when he was a child, and it's given him a severe complex about women. This is one of those books that, like the first two in the series, actually had me setting the volume aside, taking a deep breath, and thinking to myself, "WOW, THAT WAS SO MESSED UP." Over the course of the novel, we see Olivia, maddened with jealousy, betrayal, and impotent rage, slowly lose her desire to please and be loved instead, she becomes cruel and controlling, using fear to influence where she failed at charm.Īnd oh, her husband, let's not forget about Malcolm. But things are not what they seem, and happiness is elusive. ![]() He seems to like the fact that she's not like other woman, and proposes to her early on. She's absolutely thrilled when she finds out she's to marry a protege of her father's: the dashing and debonair Malcolm. Beneath that homely brow of hers is a sharpened mind, and an almost heartbreaking desire to be loved and adored. ![]() Tall and plain, she's been raised her whole life as the son her father wanted but never got. ![]() GARDEN OF SHADOWS is about a girl named Olivia. But how did she get that way? Aren't you curious? If you've read the Dollanganger series, you probably remember that the grandmother character in FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC had serious issues. ![]()
