Midnight's Children (Picador Books) (used)

By (author): Salman Rushdie. Salman Rushdie's Booker Prize-winning novel follows Saleem Sinai, born at the exact midnight moment of India's independence in 1947 and secretly switched at birth with another baby, Shiva. Saleem's telepathic powers link him to India's other "midnight's children," and his life becomes an allegory for the nation's turbulent post-independence history, entwined with his rivalry with Shiva.
