THE LAND WHERE LEMONS GROW - HELENA ATTLEE KART...

'4 stars. Attlee  who knows and loves Italy and the Italians  takes the reader through the
country's scented gardens with her sharp descriptions  pertinent stories and quotes and
intriguing recipes. I was there with her' Anna del Conte  Sunday TelegraphA delightful book
about Italy's unexpected history  told through its citrus fruitsThe story of citrus runs
through the history of Italy like a golden thread  and by combining travel writing with history
recipes  horticulture and art  Helena Attlee takes the reader on a unique and rich journey
through Italy's cultural  moral  culinary and political past.'Fascinating . . . A distinguished
garden writer  Attlee fell under the spell of citrus over ten years ago and the book  like the
eleventh labour of Hercules to steal the golden fruit of the Hesperides  is the result. She
writes with great lucidity  charm and gentle humour  and wears her considerable learning
lightly . . . Helena Attlee's elegant  absorbing prose and sure-footed ability to combine the
academic with the anecdotal  make The Land Where Lemons Grow a welcome addition to the library
of citrologists and Italophiles alike' The Times Literary Supplement 'A paradise of citrus is
how I always think of Italy too: a place where ice-cold limoncello is sipped from tiny glasses
on piazzas  and everything from ricotta cake to osso bucco is enlivened with zest. What a joy 
therefore  to read Helena Attlee's The Land Where Lemons Grow  which tells the story of Italy
through its citrus fruit' Bee Wilson  Telegraph
