Trisha Maxine is a writer of poetry and prose. Sliding Across Mountains is her debut novel published by Austin Macauley Publishers, featuring both styles. When Trisha is not writing, you can find her in the garden, painting, or designing floral arrangements.
This novel by Trisha Maxine (I was left slightly puzzled by the book title) revolves around the lives of four women, of whom some have experienced malicious gossip from members of their own family. One tip that I would suggest is that you get to know the names of these four as soon as possible, and also write down and make a note of the names of their husbands and their children, for they will be with you throughout the whole of the story. Be warned also that the book contains some quite graphic descriptions of domestic violence. If you have already noted the reference on the back cover of the book to curling (the sport), it sort of creeps in unobtrusively approximately halfway through the book, but is the final glue that cements the friendship of these four women, all of whom are from slightly different backgrounds. By the time I had got to the very last few chapters, I was finding it very hard to put the book down.
