Description
A captivating family saga and an astonishing panorama of a vast country and its people!
The novel “Children of Midnight” won the “Booker” Prize three times: in 1981 as the best novel, and in 1993 and 2008—in honor of the 25th and 40th anniversary of the prize—as the best work among all the winners. This is an allegorical novel about independent India and a generation born in a free country. It is also a myth, a parable, and a fantasy-hallucination, where tragedy and comedy, satire and pathos, adventure and drama are interwoven, and where the multi-layered narration tells both the life of the main character, Salem Sinai, and the history of India, and partly Pakistan, from 1910 to 1976.
