Laura and Franck move back in Burgundy with their young daughters - can their little family (and their marriage!) adapt to life in a traditional French winemaking village? Five years after My Grape Escape, Laura and Franck bring their two young daughters back to Burgundy to tackle their newest project, a derelict 16th-century winemaker’s cottage located behind Franck’s family home. Navigating the different rules for raising children and managing a family in a small French village prove every bit as challenging for Laura as learning to drive a stick shift through narrow streets or arguing with tyrannical French officials over paint colors (spoiler alert: any color as long as it’s gray). Come along on this evocative and honest journey where love, coupled with good French food and local wine, pave the way to la belle vie. "When reading your books they transport me to another world which feeds my soul. They show me another way of life full of history enriched by tradition and family. Please keep on writing more, more, more!!!" - Amazon Reviewer 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.
