This is a novel which transcends Centuries. An imaginative novel where Shafak has spun ancient mysticism and spirituality into an intriguing novel with vivid characters. Ella, a middle-aged American woman, innocently accepts a job to read and review a novel by Aziz. This little action causes a huge impact on her life - like a rock thrown into a lake.
The story is interspersed with little nuggets of wisdom based on Sufiism and most readers will read and re-read the Forty Rules and agree with them.
"The Forty Rules of Love," is a novel that you will not only want to read but also to own.
This nifty little book is a wonderful tool if you're just contemplating writing for a living or if you're starting out. Many motivational tips and encouraging ideas make it worthwhile reading.

Adam Johnson has created a masterpiece. We living in the free world cannot begin to imagine life in places like North Korea where Johnson has set his "The Orphan Master's Son." He follows the tale of one brave man and we read along breathlessly.
Every reader will want Jun Do to prevail and come out as a winner and in so far as he possibly can, he does.
A definite page-turner and deserving of the Pulitzer prize.
