Consider Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie. Recommended by 5 sources.
“Rushdie's Midnight's Children arrives as a loud, talkative first-person epic that knits one man's life to a nation's birth. Expect exuberant, frequently digressive prose, sudden leaps between comic anecdotes and bleak historical episodes, and playful magical-realist touches tied to Bombay's cinematic energy. What works best is how personal memory and political history collide in memorable scenes; the main limitation is that the narrator's theatrical asides and dense cultural references pile up, making the middle sections feel sprawling and occasionally hard to follow.”
