Midnigh t’s Children by Salman Rushdie

Midnights Children Feb 16

Midnight's Children is the widely acclaimed 1981 novel by author Salman Rushdie. It is a c aptivating family saga and a portrayal of the partition of British India in to India and Pakistan.

“Salee m Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very mome nt of
India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering cr owds, and Prime Minister
Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the o minous consequences of this coincidence.
His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs;
his hea lth and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is
inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his co untry. Perhaps most
remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him w ith India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s
children,” all born in that initia l hour and endowed with magical gifts.” (Random House)

We hope y ou will join us to discuss this iconic masterpiece of India, which appears on many lists of the best 100 books of all time.
