Atta Galatta is delighted to host author Zeenath Khan for a discussion on her powerful new novel, The Sirens of September, a sweeping work of historical fiction set against the turbulent backdrop of Hyderabad’s 1948 integration, Partition, and the shadowy world of espionage.
The novel follows Farishteh Ali Khan, a young aristocrat whose sheltered life in princely Hyderabad is upended as she is drawn into a maze of political intrigue, family secrets, and shifting loyalties. Moving between the opulent corridors of Hyderabad, the refugee camps of post-Partition Bombay, military command rooms, and the underbelly of Piccadilly in London, Khan crafts a vivid narrative of a world in upheaval.
At its heart, the story explores Farishteh’s unexpected bond with air force pilot Saleem El Edroos, a relationship tested by distance, war, and the consequences of a fallen kingdom. The fate of their families’ rests on a single figure—one whose power to save them is equal to their ability to destroy everything.
Join us for an engaging conversation on history, identity, and storytelling with one of the most compelling new voices in Indian historical fiction.
