Helena Attlee, a distinguished garden expert, fell under the spell of citrus fruits and since then she has been gathering materials and giving shape to this delicious book. With immense wisdom, delicacy and sense of humor, the author tells us about the origins of citrus fruits, the gastronomy and the country, unveils the secrets of the art of horticulture and offers us recipes that are as simple as they are succulent. The aromas, colors, textures, light and landscapes it evokes are the threads of a golden story where civilization and nature are reconciled. And so The Country Where the Lemon Tree Blossoms invites the reader to embark on a unique and fascinating journey to the Italy of yesterday and today.
