Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children" is a landmark work of magical realism and post-colonial literature, chronicling the life of Saleem Sinai, born at the exact moment of India's independence. His destiny, and that of a thousand other "midnight's children" born in that hour, becomes inextricably linked with the tumultuous history of the newly formed nation. This epic narrative weaves together personal and national destinies, presenting a vibrant tapestry of India's journey through the 20th century, rich with allegory, humor, and profound social commentary. It is a powerful exploration of identity, memory, and the complex legacy of colonialism, appealing to readers who appreciate ambitious, imaginative storytelling with a historical backdrop.
