Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

5.0

---

My personal favorite of all of Rushdie's books. Midnight's Children was the catalyst for my current obsession with all books and films Indian. Gorgeous view of the country's people and politics with a fabulous dose of magic thrown in. Afterwards, I read a history of India and was so surprised by what I had actually already learned. But don't read this for the history, read it for the he characters, the poetry, the food ... delicious on every multi-generational level.
