YMMV / Heaven (1985)

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Since the books were published, opinion has shifted toward Fanny, reinterpreting her not as an oversexed rival to Heaven but as an 11-year-old child who uses her premature sexuality to gain the affection she isn't getting in her chaotic and abusive home. Some readers even interpret Fanny's sexual acting-out as a red flag that she might have been sexually abused, perhaps by her own father.
  • Narm: Heaven confronts Kitty with the fact that Kitty has been selling mass-market ceramics as one-of-a-kind creations and threatens that Kitty could be sued for fraud if anyone ever found out. This is played for high drama and Kitty's reaction is akin to a Berserk Button, but considering that Kitty's other crimes include physical abuse of a minor child and, oh, buying a teenager on the black market, it comes across as a little ridiculous.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The stillbirth of Sarah and Luke's fifth child. It's so awful that Sarah is Driven to Madness and Annie is shocked into instant death. Luke's incredibly cold reaction is just as horrifying.
