''A wonderful, rich and humane novel... a classic'' Guardian
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.
