Description

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak is a mesmerising tale of discovery, language, truth and, of course, love itself. Ella Rubinstein's life is filled with the comforts of marriage, children and a pleasant home, yet she feels an emptiness at its heart. When she reads about the thirteenth-century Sufi poet Rumi and his forty rules of life and love, she is compelled to look at her life anew.

As Ella embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author of the manuscript, she is taken into a world of Sufi mysticism and verse, where faith and doubt are heartbreakingly explored. This is a story of unexpected transformation, where the past and present fit together beautifully in a passionate defence of passion itself.

With its colourful prose and beguiling intelligence, The Forty Rules of Love is a thought-provoking and affecting exploration of love, faith and the human condition.
