*REVIEW* Welcome Karen Aldous and her latest novel, Five Ladies Go Skiing...



MY REVIEW:
This is a gorgeous story of enduring female friendships and what it means when we mature and grow to the degree of whether history can make or break relationships. Five Ladies Go Skiing revolves around the main character of widowed Ginny Watts and her four friends who arrange a skiing trip in the hope of cheering and encouraging Ginny to embrace life after the death of her husband.

All in their sixties, Ginny, Lou, Cathy, Angie and Kim share their points of view throughout the book, meaning the reader gets first hand insight to the thoughts and feelings of these age-old friends. Personal growth, realisation and love for one another resonates throughout this wonderful story of female friendship.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from Karen Aldous :)

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!
