If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough..." Ella Rubinstein has a husband, three teenage children, and a pleasant home. Everything that should make her confident and fulfilled. Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love.So when Ella reads a manuscript about the thirteenth-century Sufi poet Rumi and his mentor Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, she is ready to look at her life anew.

It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into a faraway world where faith and doubt are heartbreakingly explored.

  1. 2/5 A

    Det låga betyget är på grund av texten som är minimal. Svårt att läsa, för en person med ”normal” syn!

  2. 4/5 Helene K

    Helt underbar bok, spännande berättad ur två perspektiv, ett historiskt och ett nutida. Dessa vävs sedan samman på ett fenomenalt sätt. Mycket läsvärd.

  3. 5/5 Shiba

    Absorbing, captivating, and a mismerizing read! A unique spiritual experience. This book will never wear out for my senses. Highly recommend it.
