Reading and Discussion with Gaëlle Bélem

Gaëlle Bélem

In her biographical novel, Gaëlle Bélem tells the story of Edmond Albius, an enslaved person who lived on the French colony of Île Bourbon in the 19th century and achieved something remarkable: at the age of 12, he invented a method for pollinating vanilla, which was subsequently cultivated all over the world and celebrated as the most popular of all flavors.
