Overview:
"The Forty Rules of Love" by Elif Shafak is a novel that weaves together two parallel stories set in different times and cultures, linked by themes of love, spirituality, and self-discovery.
The story follows two main narratives:
1. The Contemporary Story:
Forty-year-old Ella Rubenstein, an unhappy housewife with three children and a troubled marriage, takes a job as a reader for a literary agency. Her first assignment is to read a novel titled "Sweet Blasphemy," written by an unknown Turkish novelist named Aziz Zahara. The novel revolves around the thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi and his spiritual teacher, Shams of Tabriz. As Ella reads the novel, she is drawn into the enchanting world of Rumi and Shams, and she begins to question her own life choices. She engages in an e-mail correspondence with the author and finds herself opening up to new experiences and perspectives.
2. The Historical Story:
The novel within the novel, "Sweet Blasphemy," explores the relationship between the renowned poet Rumi and the wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz. Their bond transcends the conventional boundaries of teacher-student relationships, blossoming into a deep spiritual connection that transforms both of their lives. Through their interactions and conversations, the novel presents a set of "forty rules of love," which serve as guiding principles for understanding love, faith, and existence.
As the two narratives unfold, "The Forty Rules of Love" explores the transformative power of love and the ways in which it can inspire individuals to break free from societal norms and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Elif Shafak skillfully interweaves these narratives, highlighting the universality of love and the timeless wisdom embedded within Rumi's teachings. The novel delves into themes of spiritual awakening, self-realization, and the pursuit of authentic connections.
