I came across the book Freedom at Midnight while browsing the shelves of used bookstores. At that time, I was searching for everything I could read to help me learn more about our next adventure. So, finding a book about India before our trip to the country was no coincidence. However, it was a great surprise to come across this book in particular.

The cover of Freedom At Midnight features images of notable figures and highlights the theme of Indias struggle for independence.

This is an exceptionally well-written account of the touching life of Mahatma Gandhi and the history of India’s independence. It touched me so deeply.

I learned so much about the country and its most significant historical figure that I wanted to give it to my friend, who was also planning a trip to India. But I couldn’t help it and recently bought another copy to read it again.
