''Green Grows the Vine'' (1960) 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."
