About Laura Bradbury
Looking for adventurous, feel-good reads? Look no further. Laura Bradbury's bestselling books have been described as "the lovechild of Peter Mayle's A YEAR IN PROVENCE and Cheryl Strayed's WILD." Honest, evocative, and always romantic.
The beloved Grape Series now includes seven books (all available in Kindle Unlimited and Audible) with more to come. Laura branched out into romance with The Winemaker's Trilogy set in her beloved vineyards of Burgundy with A Vineyard for Two and Love in the Vineyards.
Touchwood Editions has just published a stunning co-authored cookbook, Bisous & Brioche, based on her Grape Series of memoirs that readers have been asking for.
Laura's life has been the stuff of fiction (or a truly riveting reality TV show). It's included a lightening bolt love affair with a frenchman, a never-used law degree from Oxford, panic attacks, three franco-Canadian daughters, four vacation rentals in France (plus a 13th Century wine cellar, just to keep things interesting), and one liver transplant from a rare, autoimmune bile duct disease.

$0.99
See where it all began in the first book of the #1 Bestselling Grape Series.
Sent on an exchange to France, Laura becomes not only enamored with la belle vie but falls madly in love with a local Frenchman. Can she abide by the rules while still managing to follow her heart?
At the age of seventeen in a last-minute twist of fate, Laura Bradbury is sent to Burgundy, France, for a year’s exchange. She arrives knowing only a smattering of French and with no idea what to expect in her first foray out of North America. With a head full of dreams and a powerful desire to please, Laura quickly adapts to Burgundian life, learning crucial skills such as the fine art of winetasting and how to savor snails.
However, the charming young men of the region mean Laura soon runs afoul of the rules, particularly the no-dating edict. Romantic afternoons in Dijon, early morning pain au chocolat runs, and long walks in the vineyards are wondrous but also present Laura with a conundrum: How can she keep her hosts happy while still managing to follow her heart? Follow along on Laura’s journey to I’amour in My Grape Year.
#1 Amazon bestseller. Thousands of copies sold. Hundreds of 5 star reviews.

In the eighth book in Laura Bradbury's #1 bestselling Grape series, can Laura and Franck restore a thirteenth century wine cellar under the streets of Beaune when another surprise project - a new baby - changes everything?
My Grape Cellar takes fans of Laura Bradbury’s Grape Series back to Burgundy. Laura and Franck embark on another grand adventure to restore a long-neglected wine cellar that they buy, sight unseen, in the charming town of Beaune - the heart of winemaking in Burgundy (and according to the Burgundians, all of France).
Much as they dream of family winetastings in a magical place, reviving a thirteenth-century cellar proves a formidable task. Laura never imagined she’d be hunting through ancient sinks, hauling stones by moonlight, or appointing godparents for a medieval cave, all while managing an even more important project: a new baby. Find out if Laura and Franck manage to keep all the balls in the air in My Grape Cellar, book eighth in the bestselling Grape Series.

My Grape Escape: (The Grape Series Book 6)
Nov 16, 2013
$4.99
Is Laura's sudden decision to choose a Revolutionary-era ruin in a tiny french village over a legal career in London profoundly wise or utterly insane?
In My Grape Escape, the sixth book in Laura Bradbury's #1 bestselling Grape Series, Laura emerges from her final law exams at Oxford far from unscathed. Everyone expects her to follow the well-trodden path of establishing a prestigious legal career in London, but instead she buys an eighteenth century ruin near her husband's village in Burgundy.
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 six in Laura's beloved 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. A beautiful read.”
—Janice MacLeod, New York Times bestselling author of Paris Letters and A Paris Year
“Bradbury’s Grape Series takes the reader on a romantic adventure into the heart, soul, and people of la belle France. Filled with delicious food, love, and laughter, Bradbury’s writing proves that you have to dare to follow your heart wherever it leads you…and that sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to truly live.”
—Samantha Vérant, author of How to Make a French Family and Seven Letters from Paris
In My Grape Escape, the sixth book in Laura Bradbury's #1 bestselling Grape Series, Laura emerges from her final law exams at Oxford far from unscathed. Everyone expects her to follow the well-trodden path of establishing a prestigious legal career in London, but instead she buys an eighteenth century ruin near her husband's village in Burgundy.
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 six in Laura's beloved Grape Series.

My Grape Village (The Grape Series Book 7)
Oct 3, 2014
$4.99
In the seventh book in Laura Bradbury's bestselling Grape Series, 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
