Description

Rumi's Daughter by Muriel Maufroy is a thought-provoking novel that tells the story of Kimya, a young girl sent from her rural village to live with the famous poet Rumi. With great charm and tenderness, this book explores Kimya's mystical tendencies and her time under Rumi's tutelage. As Kimya learns from Rumi, she develops a deep understanding of spirituality and love. Her marriage to Shams, a wild man consumed by his longing for God, is fiery and unconventional. Tragedy strikes when Kimya dies, leaving Shams heartbroken and vanished. This novel offers a fresh perspective on the life of Rumi, drawing comparisons with other notable works. Well-written and engaging, Rumi's Daughter is a worthwhile read for those interested in historical fiction, spirituality, and romance.
