Midnight's Children - Vintage Quarterbound Classics

A beautiful hardback edition of a modern classic and winner of ''The Best of the Booker'' - the best novel from Booker Prize history. 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.
