Midnight's Children

by Salman Rushdie
Midnight's Children
Midnight's Children

Magical realism entwined with India's historic transition.

If you're intrigued by the blend of personal and national narratives woven with a touch of whimsy, "Midnight's Children" will captivate you. Rushdie's skill in intertwining Saleem’s fantastical journey with the poignant moments of India's history creates a tapestry that's as compelling as it is imaginative. It's a literary feast, filled with linguistic creativity and profound insights, for anyone interested in the transformative power of storytelling.

Description

Born at the stroke of midnight at the exact moment of India's independence, Saleem Sinai is a special child. However, this coincidence of birth has consequences he is not prepared for: telepathic powers connect him with 1,000 other 'midnight's children' all of whom are endowed with unusual gifts. Inextricably linked to his nation, Saleem's story is a whirlwind of disasters and triumphs that mirrors the course of modern India at its most impossible and glorious.
