Summary

Elif Shafak: The Forty Rules of Love

In this lyrical, imaginative novel, Elif Shafak examines two parallel stories - one contemporary and the other set in the thirteenth century, when the Sufi poet and mystic Rumi met his spiritual mentor, a wandering dervish known as Shems of Tabriz. Both stories together embody Rumi's timeless message of love.

Forty-year-old American housewife Ella Rubinstein, in an unhappy marriage, accepts a job as a reviewer for a literary agent. Her first assignment is to read and report on a novel titled Sweet Blasphemy, written by a man named Aziz Z. Zahara. Zahara's novel, told in many different voices, tells about Shems' search for Rumi and the role of the dervish in the transformation of a successful but unfortunate priest into a dedicated mystic, passionate poet and advocate of love.

More and more fascinated by this story and increasingly distant from her husband, Ella begins to question her sheltered, provincial life and reaches out to Aziz, who lives in Amsterdam. At the same time, she is delighted by Shems' rules of love, which provide an insight into the ancient philosophy based on the unity of all peoples and religions and the presence of love in each of us. And as Ella reads Aziz's novel, she realizes that Rumi's story mirrors her own and that Aziz - just like Shems - has come to set her free, to transform her in ways she could never have imagined.
