«Midnight's Children» is Salman Rushdie's magic realist novel, published by Penguin in paperback (552 pages, in English).
Saleem Sinai is born at the exact moment India gains independence. That link connects him telepathically to a thousand other children born in the same hour and gives him a keen sense of smell. His life, between triumphs and disasters, traverses modern India in an epic, humorous and fantastic family saga.
The novel was originally published in 1981 and won the Booker Prize that same year; in 1993 it was chosen as Booker of Bookers and in 2008 as Best of the Booker.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the history of India.
