Five Ladies Go Skiing
A delightful new novel of love and friendship from Karen Aldous…
Ginny is alone now after losing her husband, so her friends (her F.L.O.W.E.R.S) decide with his first memorial imminent, learning to ski in the Swiss Alps would be a great distraction for her. What Ginny’s friends fail to add into the equation however, is their own distractions! The baggage they carry with them not only threatens their skiing but scales mountainous emotions throughout the trip. The questions then are…can their friendships survive, and can Ginny ever trust enough to love again?

Author Bio –
Karen Aldous enjoys village life on the edge of the north-downs in Kent with easy access to the buzz of London. Not only does she love the passive pleasures of reading and writing, she also craves the more active pursuits with her family and friends such as walking, cycling and skiing especially when they involve food and wine!
Much of Karen's inspiration comes from her travels and meeting people. The UK, France, Greece, Switzerland, Italy and parts of the USA and Asia are just some you will experience in her books to date. However, wherever she goes, new characters emerge in 'Karen's World' screaming at her to tell their stories; past or present. She loves to write about strong independent women who can direct their own lives - but struggle to control them! And, of course there's always a gorgeous hunk or two!

I must say that at the start I struggled to work out who was who as we are introduced to five friends and then when you add their families into the mix -it all seemed a bit overwhelming. However, once I got into the story, it was so heart-warming. It's a story of friendship, love, loss and self-discovery as well as a secret that will test friendship to its limits. It was refreshing to read about a group of older women who haven't given up on love and whose lives have been shaped by all that has happened to them - something you are unlikely to find to the same degree when writing about twenty-year-olds. This added depth to the characters really shines through. The setting is pretty fabulous too adding a realistic dimension to the story.
