Midnight's Children
by Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie tells the story of Saleem Sinai whose birth on August 15th, 1947 mirrors that of his home country, India, as it grows into a nation.
When tasting wine or beer, I often describe the taste as being big. Big in a sense of complex and containing flavors that I may not be able to identify but I know they are there and I enjoy them. I would say the same thing about this book. It is big and full of complexities that I may not be able to describe, but I have enjoyed.
Rushdie is an amazing story teller, beautifully weaving magic, history, betrayal, and truth. This is a great book.
