The Forty Rules of Love – A Novel of Rumi by Elif Shafak

📖 The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” – Rumi

In addition to being a book, The Forty Rules of Love is a spiritual awakening encased in two interconnected tales. One explores the life and marriage of Ella, a contemporary lady; the other focuses on the strong connection between the nomadic dervish Shams of Tabriz and the poet Rumi from the 13th century.

Ella starts to see things differently after reading a manuscript called Sweet Blasphemy, which echoes the lessons of Rumi's mystical friend. Every chapter unveils one of the "forty rules of love," dismantling not only cultural or religious barriers but also the barriers we erect around our hearts.
