Business magnate Yesu Persaud opens a new chapter in his life with the launch of Volume 1 of his memoir Dr Yesu Persaud Reaching for the Stars- The Life of Yesu Persaud expected later this month. Stabroek News columnist Ian McDonald in the foreword to the book writes that the memoir is “a vivid and fascinating telling of the story of the origins and progress of an astonishing life of ceaseless endeavour and a remarkable career of multiple achievements.” Calling the book “utterly compelling” McDonald writes that intertwined with the narrative of Persaud’s rise to the top is the “wonderfully vivid and honest account of Yesu’s private life within the family circle and among his relatives and friends. We read in straightforward and intimate detail – his remembering of events and impressions deep in the past is nothing short of extraordinary – how he felt about and related to the people close to him.”
