Geeta Outar Sarjoo always knew she wanted to leave a legacy behind and she has done just that with her novel “Fortunate Disaster”. The Guyanese writer and inspiration was born to a fisherman/watchman and a fish vendor at Annandale, East Coast Demerara, but migrated to Trinidad and Tobago where she has been residing for approximately 30 years.
In an interview with Stabroek News, Sarjoo said she used to feel that her dream of leaving a legacy was in the area of designing. However, one night in 2011 she had a dream which inspired her to write. Not only was this dream an inspiration but its contents set the scene for “Fortunate Disaster”.
