The 40 Rules of Love' is a wonderful Historical Novel published in 2010 by Turkish authoress Elif Shafak. The story is about famous islamic poet Maolana Jalaluddin Rumi and his companion as well as his spiritual teacher Shams of Tabriz. A book of almost 250 pages but I can assure that you'd not take time to plunge in the book as soon as you will start reading.

This is my first book by Elif Shafak. In fact, she has taken two stories together very efficiently. And from the point of view of different people, the flow of events is so beautifully captured that at the same time, the views and judgments of all the characters become clear before the eyes. After starting reading, I was woven into the book the whole time, well-read enough. So start reading, hopefully you will not be disappointed. If you have any questions about this book you can ask me. If someone has already read, you can respond some comments.

Thanks.
