Midnight Children
Saleem Sinai was born on the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947 the exact moment India gained independance from British rule.
Salman Rushdie mirrors the life of India with the life of the Midnight Children. Using magical realism, the reader is caught up in the story of Saleem Sainai and the history of India.
Though I am not finished yet, I feel like I am reading a great book. I have just been introduced to the Midnight Children. Saleem's injury to his finger has exposed his switching at birth. And the cracks grow larger.
