Helena Attlee for The Fire in the Mountain

Wednesday 22nd April, 7pm at The Royal Scots Club, 29-31 Abercromby Pl, Edinburgh EH3 6QE. Doors Open 6.30pm.

"Attlee has that rare gift of being able to know an inordinate amount about a subject and yet wear her knowledge so lightly that the tone is anecdotal, not academic. It's a big thing, to pull off such lightness" -Yotam Ottolenghi

For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama.
