Midnight's Children is an allegorical socio-political satire of that era!Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-72418047354992928132009-04-28T08:14:00.000-07:002009-04-28T08:14:00.000-07:00oh, my to read pile is already so massive! eeeek....oh, my to read pile is already so massive! eeeek. but it's great to find books you love so much. thanks for sharing :)limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-65107138254685713342009-04-28T06:49:00.000-07:002009-04-28T06:49:00.000-07:00Riiiiiiight.!
