Synopsis

In My Grape Escape, twenty-six-year-old Laura steps off the path to a prestigious legal career in London and into a Revolutionary-era ruin in the Burgundian town of Beaune with her new husband, Franck. Is this split-second, life-altering decision profoundly wise or utterly insane?Laura's idealistic visions of bicycling through French vineyards with fresh baguettes under her arm had not included steaming plates of veal brains for breakfast or taming an electrician named Tin Tin. Still, as Laura learns the art of bartering for antique furnishings and rekindles her romance with Franck, she gains a newfound perspective. Will running from the law to the vineyards of France trump the expectations she has long held for herself? Find out in My Grape Escape, book two in Laura's popular Grape Series.PRAISE FOR LAURA BRADBURY"Bradbury's Grape Series feels like a series of honest and funny letters sent from a friend about her fascinating (and sometimes baffling) life in France.

It was fantastic. When I bumped into this book, I was only looking at some fiction to read, with goo......more

Goodreads review by Pat

Loved catching-up with the Author, her husband and their continued life in France. This 'chapter' takes us on the path of them finding 'a home' - despite the panic arising and some unscrupulous duping (not by them I hasten to add) - they do find a property - will they be able to cope with the renova......more
