A review by tessanne
My Grape Year by Laura Bradbury
5.0
I’ll admit that the nostalgia of my own study abroad in France plays a large role in my five stars for this book. So much of what Laura Bradbury relays, especially in regards to the first part of her time in France, really resonated and reflected my own experiences. It’s powerful knowing someone else felt many of the same things you did.
The theme of the author searching for her true love felt rather juvenile, especially contrasted with the very mature vocabulary and style of writing, which made it very clear that it had been many years since these events took place and the time of writing.
I loved the descriptions of the places, people—as individuals and groups—and food. Very evocative writing, it has made me desperate to get to France again. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author!
