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?

My review
What a wonderful book, I don't know where to start or if I will be able to shower enough praise to give it the justice it deserves. But I shall start by saying that this is a story filled with heart and emotion that showcases that age is merely a number and life is worth taking chances and dreaming big. I loved each and every member of the Fun-Loving Older Women Embracing life with a Renaissance of Spirit gang, otherwise known as the Flowers. They were gutsy and had a relish for life that was refreshing and appealing. Their skiing trip was laced with highs and lows but packed full of love and friendship. I loved how tight-knit the group was and their love for each other was a joy to see.
Whilst reading this book I witnessed five women blossom and grow through the love of friendship and adventure for life, which was inspiring and motivational, proving that you can do anything you put your mind to. Ginny was such a loveable character and when we first met her she was a shrinking violet hiding away from life through grief and loss but her journey was uplifting and through her challenges, I was right behind her every step of the way. Kim's love for Ginny, as a sister, was incredibly moving and their bond resonated with such sincerity throughout the book. Lou, Angie and Cath also brought wonderful moments to the story and made such an impact but I won't divulge too much as I don't want to give away any hints or spoilers.
This is a perfectly written book of love, friendship and determination to grab life with both hands and live to the fullest degree. I loved everything this book stands for and I applaud Karen Aldous for creating such an inspirational story showcasing that dreams, adventures and love are not reserved solely for the young. Life is for living and this book portrayed that in spades. I highly recommend that you grab your nearest copy and start reading immediately.
