Green Grows the Vine


Green Grows the Vine is a novel by Australian writer Nancy Cato.

Story outline

The novel follows the story of three women - Mandy, Mitch and Maria - who travel from Adelaide to pick grapes in the fictional South Australian wine-growing district of Vindura. All are escaping disappointments - death and broken relationships - and the time spent in the country offers them all a chance of renewal.

Critical reception

A short review in The Canberra Times described the novel as "Another pleasantly earthy though quite undistinguished love story."
