Product Description
The book provides an insight into the lives of Khusro Mirza Beg, a scion of a princely family of Georgia, who was adopted by Mir Karam Ali Khan Talpur, and Fareedun, also from Georgia, whose paths fatefully crossed thousands of miles away, in distant Sindh. The author traces the historical background that led to the author's ancestors migration from Georgia in the early 1800's to Sindh, and focuses on Khusro's life as a young man, and his relationship with the Mirs of Sindh, and continues with the family history until the twentieth century.

Disappointing January 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I ordered this book without much expectation, I just wanted to learn something new. It's a short book and a quick read, but style of writing is daunting.
A Georgian Saga starts off with a brief overview of the Georgian History. It is hard to pack centuries into couple dozen pages to start with, and there is a certain bias in writer's choice of facts to include.
Intention of the book is very clear, to show how a kid from a princely family ended up in the Indus, but again, quite disappointing.
