In a very good unclipped wrapper with a little creasing and one small chip to the top of the rear panel. A Gothic novel that explores the dark secrets of the Dollanganger family. The story revolves around four siblings—Cathy, Chris, and twins Carrie and Cory—who are confined to the attic by their grandmother after their father's death. As they endure abuse and isolation, the siblings form complex bonds while uncovering family mysteries. The novel delves into themes of betrayal, forbidden love, and the consequences of hidden truths.
