Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, read by George Blagden.
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 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, and his 40 rules of life and love, she is shocked out of herself. Turning her back on her family, she embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author of this work.
It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into an exotic world where faith and love are heartbreakingly explored....

Intriguing & Must Read
Love: An abstract quality; the benevolence and affection of God, towards an individual or towards creation; (also) from an individual; regard and consideration of one human being towards another prompted by a sense of a common relationship.
Forty Rules of Love is beyond your expectations of general image of Love, and more connected to Spiritual kind, for better change in your otherwise superficial and maybe limited perspective view towards nature & loving, in believing.
It's a fictional novel with similar to Sufism manual that not only has different stories for every rules, but also, captures events from all Characters' view. Wholesome yet devastating, musical yet instructive, and lastly, it beautifully wraps the Journey of companionship towards believing in Love over two different timelines simultaneously, equally important and Interesting!
There are beautiful characterisations, real places and fascinating timelines, smooth blend of fiction and fantasy with real life based events, and most impressive is the Writing! ❤️❤️
Also, (spoiler) Kimya, and Kerra both deserved much better expressive and understanding partners, & to be fair, some events do raises questions from Social point of view, which intrigued me to ask right away to Elif, just like Ella from book, but it's the vibe that's so pure and simple and giving, that it foreshadows every little basic random thoughts. Also, it's a treat to have such strong, important, and varied female characters with genuine relatability, just fell in love with Dessert Rose 😻
So for the One's who are Spiritual and One's who have ever wished for a pure companion, have an awesome experience through it's words of wisdom!

didn't expect it to be so good at start
it does get a little bit of slow in the middle but have faith and enjoy the bliss of Sufism theory and two love stories taking place in different time zones

Shams teachings in an interesting novel.
Very interesting plot and gripping narration. This book teaches us the best teachings of shams in a very gripping novel and practical approach. Also, Full marks to the narrator for outstanding deliverance. However, at some part i felt a bit disconnected and also couldn't relate to some of the incidences... But those are tine bits and pieces. Overall, a very good experience.

Deep. Soulful.
If you are a person looking for meaning of true love, this is the book for you. It speaks about values of Sufism in a lucid , engaging way. Listening to this book had a strange calming effect on my mind and I even bought a paperback copy of the same to go through it again and again

Great voice work! Good listen!
The book's narration is a little difficult to understand at first but once that barrier is bruised and you listen to the book, through so many different character's perspectives, you'll start liking it. Give it a little patience! the narrator, George Blagden, has made it very entertaining with his voice modulating, accent changes etc to give life to several characters to just voice. commendable job!
