Saleem Sinai was born precisely at midnight, the very moment India gained independence. This fortuitous coincidence has mysteriously linked him to history. He is one of 1,001 children born precisely at that midnight hour, and each child possesses an extraordinary gift. It is both their privilege and their curse to be both masters and victims of their time. Through Saleem's remarkable senses—particularly his acute sense of smell and inner hearing—we are drawn into a fascinating family saga set against the rich and colorful backdrop of 20th-century India.
