The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi

The Forty Rules of Love is a captivating and wise book that explores the enduring power of Rumi's work through two parallel narratives set in the thirteenth century and contemporary times.

Ella Rubenstein, a forty-year-old unhappily married reader for a literary agent, is mesmerized by the novel Sweet Blasphemy and its tale of Shams's search for Rumi.

As she reads on, she realizes that Rumi's story mirrors her own and that Zahara—like Shams—has come to set her free.

This book offers 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.

With praise from NPR and other reviewers, The Forty Rules of Love is a must-read for anyone looking for a moving and thought-provoking book that will leave you laughing, crying, and inspired.
