Midnights Children

Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie is a sweeping, magical realist novel that intertwines the personal and political through the life of Saleem Sinai, a boy born at the exact moment of India’s independence in 1947. Gifted with telepathic powers and linked to a thousand other children born in that midnight hour, Saleem’s life becomes a metaphor for the turbulent birth and evolution of modern India. With rich, lyrical prose and a narrative that blends history, myth, and fantasy, Rushdie crafts a masterpiece that explores identity, destiny, and the inescapable ties between personal fate and national history.
