tHE lAND wHERE lEMONS GROW The Land Where Lemons Grow, The Story of Italy and Its Citrus Fruit was a Sunday Times Bestseller. It was featured as BBC Radio 4’s ‘Book of the Week’ in 2014 and won the Guild of Food Writers ‘Food Book of the Year’ in 2015. It was also shortlisted for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year. The research for it took me from a marmalade kitchen in the orange groves of eastern Sicily to the bloodied streets of Ivrea during the Battle of Oranges. The book emerging from my travels combines history and economics with recipes, art and poetry to take the reader on a journey through Italy’s cultural, moral and political past. “Helena Attlee’s writing in The Land Where Lemons Grow is so sharp and evocative that she could have been writing about potatoes in Plymouth: she’d still have had me gripped.” Yotam Ottolenghi, Wall Street Journal https://www.helena-attlee.com/levs-violin daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/be4a0e4a-6db7-48b1-a404-239ffe4a5725/Helena+Attlee+Levs+Violin.jpg Lev's Violin - Lev’s Violin From the moment she hears Lev's violin for the first time, Helena Attlee is captivated. She is told that it is an Italian instrument, named after its former Russian owner. Eager to discover all she can about its ancestry and the stories contained within its delicate wooden body, she sets out for Cremona, birthplace of the Italian violin. This is the beginning of a beguiling journey whose end she could never have anticipated. Making its way from dusty workshops, through Alpine forests, cool Venetian churches, glittering Florentine courts, and far-flung Russian flea markets, Lev's Violin takes us from the heart of Italian culture to its very furthest reaches. Its story of luthiers and scientists, princes and orphans, musicians, composers, travellers and raconteurs swells to a poignant meditation on the power of objects, stories and music to shape individual lives and to craft entire cultures. “Whether it be a distant family history, the timber forests of the Dolomites or a momentary encounter, Attlee captures it in firm, fresh prose.” Graham Elliott, The Spectator “Attlee’s writing has borne us forward with such seductive fluency, such a captivating sense of incident and place…...” Jonathan Keates, Literary Review Particular Books, publication 1st April 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348079068-33KMH891PP3TWV8HFM3Y/Lev%27s+Violin+1.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348078195-AGLYPTFREKL3BP4AFRJE/Lev%27s+Violin+2.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348101022-4CJENF5OX831241EP41R/Lev%27s+Violin+3.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348116401-B7WAPCKXSTLZ265E7TDO/Lev%27s+Violin+4.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348118620-H06PR8YKMPG693VF4R31/Lev%27s+Violin+5.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348135520-VN1U90WZW0TCO8NA7FPL/Lev%27s+Violin.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348126410-TTYHU5NAT4F2G1THDR8Z/Lev%27s+Violin+Helena+Attlee.jpeg Lev's Violin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1771348454658-L0RGMQUKBS8KICWAR38D/1118369.webp Lev's Violin https://www.helena-attlee.com/other-books daily 0.75 2021-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582728782809-YC7YDC0KKKAQFLHKMJ41/3900502.jpg Other books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582724664200-2NFSYJ6W30ANEHP5Y4YI/8215811.jpg Other books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582724688576-ECDSQK27D04XZA3HU9WJ/Italian+Gardens+Helena+Attlee Other books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582725927660-CJCBEE7JNYJ89YP1YDO7/Gardens+of+Britain+Helena+Attlee Other books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582726055915-10D4VSIP7M9OV9RPUW5T/Gardens+of+Wales+Helena+Attlee Other books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/1582726177609-HI0WY8MBAUA6MCUSYZRZ/Gardens+of+Portugal Other books https://www.helena-attlee.com/fire-in-the-mountain-sicily-etna-and-her-people daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4e8d0196a58b56ca006187/462d31b2-d69a-49e0-a925-dd2b7f4d6098/Helena+Attlee+Fire+in+the+Mountains+Sicily+and+Etna.jpg THE FIRE IN THE MOUNTAIN - THE FIRE IN THE MOUNTAIN Sicily, Etna and Her People 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. In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily’s most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily’s rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity’s ever-changing relationship with landscape.
