Description
The Land Where Lemons Grow: The Story of Italy and Its Citrus Fruit
Helena Attlee takes readers on a unique journey through Italy's cultural, moral, culinary, and political past, weaving together history, travel writing, horticulture, and art. The story of citrus runs through Italy's history like a golden thread, and Attlee's book is the result of her fascination with this unexpected aspect of the country.
With great lucidity, charm, and gentle humour, Attlee writes about Italy's scented gardens, intriguing recipes, and the people who cultivate and enjoy its citrus fruits. A welcome addition to the library of those interested in Italy and its culture, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to explore the country's lesser-known history.
