I wanted to know more about the beguiling Nina, and
my cousin had plenty of stories to share. He told me
that her grandfather was a Russian serf-a farmer
who could be bought and sold by the noble who
owned his land. Family legend has it that this serf, a
remarkable and intelligent man helped to change the
course of the history of sugar. In the early 1900s, the
British controlled most of the sugar plantations of the
Caribbean and the sea routes to Europe. As a result,
their rivals were desperate to find a new way to create
sugar. They turned to beets.
