Midnight's Children

"A magical-realist reflection of the issues India faced post-independence including culture, language, religion, and politics... It's a truly incredible work." -- Jack Rear * Verdict * "The extraordinary alchemy of Midnight's Children was its miraculous fusion of the fantastical and the historical." -- Jereme Boyd Maunsell * Evening Standard * "A wonderful, rich and humane novel that is safe to call a classic." -- Sam Jordison * Guardian * "Rushdie's novel took a post-colonial "empire fights back" spirit, and a deep personal understanding of the politics of Indian partition, and exploded them into something teeming with imaginative life... He inhabits a hybrid consciousness, with a telepathic connection to the other children of midnight, and tells its stories for all he is worth." -- Tim Adams * Observer * "'Salman Rushdie has earned the right to be called one of our great storytellers.'
