Random House, 7 sept. 2010 - 672 pages
Born at the stroke of midnight at the exact moment of India's independence, Saleem Sinai is a special child.

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.
