## Description

*The international bestseller from the author of the Booker-shortlisted novel, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World * * One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World'* "Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough..." Ella Rubinstein has a husband, three teenage children, and a pleasant home. Everything that should make her confident and fulfilled. Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love. So when Ella reads a manuscript about the thirteenth-century Sufi poet Rumi and his mentor Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, she is ready to look at her life anew. Compelled to embrace change, she embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author. It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into a faraway world where faith and doubt are heartbreakingly explored. The Forty Rules of Love is a mesmerising tale of discovery, language, truth and, of course, love itself. 'Enlightening, enthralling. An affecting paean to faith and love' Metro 'Colourfully woven and beguilingly intelligent' Daily Telegraph 'The past and present fit together beautifully in a passionate defence of passion itself' The Times *** ELIF SHAFAK'S NEW NOVEL, THERE ARE RIVERS IN THE SKY , IS AVAILABLE NOW ***

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for book lovers!
*by C***N on 6 September 2025*

I read a long story-line novel after a long time and thought of starting with this one. Definitely worth readine and giving your time! You may have heard or might have read all the forty rules somewhere in your life but reading them again here truly transforms your imagination. I would say this book is so surreal, spiritual bent, not an average love story, but truly hooking you up by the last page. Multiple protagnists, multiple experiences, brilliantly written!
