The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi
Elif Shafak
With more than 150,000 copies sold, Elif Shafak’s The Forty Rules of Love is already a no. 1 bestseller in Turkey. One of the most well-known authors of Turkish descent writing today, Shafak was charged with the crime of “insulting Turkishness” by the Turkish government for her previous novel The Bastard of Istanbul; the critically acclaimed author was ultimately pardoned. In The Forty Rules of Love, Shafak tells the story of a romance between a modern Jewish-American housewife and a male Sufi living in Amsterdam interwoven with a parallel narrative about the intense spiritual bond between the historical figures of Rumi and the Shams of Tabris.
