1. The Land Where Lemons Grow
The Story of Spain and Its Citrus Fruit
A lyrical travelogue and cultural history that follows the story of citrus and other Mediterranean plants across Sicily and southern Italy, showing how lemons, oranges, olives and their growers shaped landscapes, trade, cuisine and local identity from antiquity to today. Combining archival research, botanical detail and on-the-ground portraits of farmers, gardeners and conservationists, the book illuminates vanished traditions, modern threats to biodiversity and the efforts to preserve heirloom varieties and rural ways of life.
