The forty rules of love by Elif Shafak is one of the best novels I'have ever read. What a Masterpiece it is !! Indeed, Elif Shafak is a queen of words. Novel inside a novel ! How a woman in 21st century connects herself with the characters in 13th century. This novel is a perfect example of a saying : "READING CAN TAKE YOU TO THE PLACE WHERE REALIITY CANNOT." How beautifully the author narrated about friendship, love, sufism, relationship with god and much more. The novel shows how true friendship and love transform us in a complete different personality. This book give a reader new eyes to see the world with a completely different perspective.
