«Midnight's Children» is Salman Rushdie's novel, published by Vintage in paperback (672 pages, in English).
Saleem Sinai is born at the exact moment India gains independence, and that coincidence connects him telepathically to a thousand other midnight's children endowed with special gifts. His life runs parallel to the country's history, as Rushdie addresses memory, national identity, and the imprint of the past on the individual.
The novel won the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker; this edition includes an introduction by the author.
For readers of magical realism and historical fiction interested in India and contemporary literature.
