Midnight's Children; A Novel by Salman Rushdie.

It is not easy to describe this book, and the thought of attempting is a bit daunting.

The story of some people, born at exactly the moment of independence of India, and the lives of three of them intertwined with one another, described in a way that is somewhere between real and fantastic and yet never either unreal - or boring.

One cannot bring the magic of the writer in the review, for that one has to read the book.
