The Forty Rules of Love
Choose variant
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.
In this lyrical, exuberant follow-up to her 2007 novel, The Bastard of Istanbul, acclaimed Turkish author Elif Shafak 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 incarnate the poet's timeless message of love.

I ordered a birthday gift for my dad. Everything was so well decorated, and just as I saw on the pictures, my dad loved it a lot. The quality of the products is also very good and the team wae very responsive. To be able to pick out every single thing through their app is an amazing feature. I'm definitely ordering again for my mom and friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had been searching for a way to send a thoughtful gift to the UK without hassle, and Sugary made it possible. From the very beginning, their team was supportive and responsive. The entire process—from choosing the right package to ensuring it reached on time—was smooth and stress-free. A special thanks to Parisa for her guidance and kind cooperation throughout. She made the experience truly personal and enjoyable. I’m very happy with the service and would highly recommend Sugary to anyone looking to send gifts abroad with care and professionalism.
