The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak Book Summary

In this lyrical, exuberant tale, acclaimed Turkish author Elif Shafak, author of The Island of Missing Trees (a Reese's Book Club Pick), incarnates Rumi's timeless message of love
The Forty Rules of Love unfolds two tantalizing parallel narratives—one contemporary and the other set in the thirteenth century, when Rumi encountered his spiritual mentor, the whirling dervish known as Shams of Tabriz—that together explore the enduring power of Rumi's work. 

Ella Rubenstein is forty years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent. Her first assignment is to read and report on Sweet Blasphemy, a novel written by a man named Aziz Zahara. Ella is mesmerized by his tale of Shams's search for Rumi and the dervish's role in transforming the successful but unhappy cleric into a committed mystic, passionate poet, and advocate of love. She is also taken with Shams's lessons, or rules, that offer insight into an ancient philosophy based on the unity of all people and religions, and the presence of love in each and every one of us. As she reads on, she realizes that Rumi's story mir­rors her own and that Zahara—like Shams—has come to set her free.

Masterpiece. Compulsory reading. Enjoy

Eye Opener. Not everyone would be able to grasp what’s in this book. It needs a broad and open mind to simply understand what the author is trying to say. Love is defined in this book! But not the love as we know of it!!

Love it!. I wish if it didn't end. My favorite book until now!

Stunning literature.. This read touched my heart like nothing else. Something about it's story and purpose is really Devine to me.

Captivating to say the least yet, heartbreakingly liberating !. This novel reminds us that If you love someone, you must set them free.

Good book. It is one of the book suggested by my friend. First, I thought I would never like this book as the title was a bit strange, but as people know never to judge a book by it's cover. I could see this book growing on me as the days passed.
