This week’s book (I’m going to make this a weekly thing): Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie. A book about the extraordinary life of Saleem Sinai and the events in India which lead to his extraordinary abilities. As much as it’s a fantastic novel it’s also a lesson on India’s history. If you’d like a recommendation on what to read next, write a comment. 👇🏻🙂 #midnightschildren #salmanrushdie #magicalrealism #magicinindia #greatbooks #mustreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BunCblVAP82/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qou0k9f8gqvt
