Five Ladies Go Skiing by Karen Aldous-+ Giveaway **********

Five friends are “Flowers”- Fun-loving older women embracing life with a renaissance

of spirit- which is their philosophy. Ginny lost her husband Mike a year ago to cancer.

She knows he held a secret. Kim now lives in Australia with her consultant husband Will.

She longs to return to the UK and her friends but Will isn’t finished with his work yet.

Cathy is now living her dream having given up her teaching post and is now writing.

Angie is married to Rob and has a voracious appetite- not for food- much to the

surprise of her husband. Lou when packing is remembering one of her first loves whom

she has now dug up on social media. They have all met up for a skiing holiday- four of

them never having done this before- however each is holding their own secrets in one

way or another. It looks like there could be more than just skiing on the agenda.

I enjoyed this. I loved the camaraderie between the ladies. Some had tough beginnings

in life and owed others for being there when they needed them- even as children.

I felt for Ginny and her predicament and for Kim- I won’t spoil it- but being between

the devil and the deep. A story of life and loves and how friendships help the world

an easier place when sometimes all it seems to throw at us appears to want to knock

us down. A wonderful enjoyable read.

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?

However, wherever she goes, new characters emerge in 'Karen's World' screaming at her to tell their stories; past or present.
