*WINNER OF THE BOOKER AND BEST OF THE BOOKER PRIZE***A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BIG JUBILEE READ PICK**'A wonderful, rich and humane novel... a classic' GuardianBorn 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.WITH A NEW 40TH ANNIVERSARY INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR
