Winner of the Booker Prize 1981
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.
