Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak/A Story of Life
Forty Rules of Love is a beautiful novel artistically written by Elif Shafak. This novel has inspired me in the most surprising way as it allowed my imagination to roam into different paths. It’s a journey of Love, a Love that finds you, when you are least expecting. Many people believed that Love is just a superficial thing, well, they have their own point of view but for me Love is a fact. A Reality that everybody experiences because as human beings we experience love, we all do but in our different ways.
Anna is the wife of a cheating husband and mother of two, a housewife, whose life is without love. She experiences love at the most unexpected time. She was working from dawn to dusk to please her family but the gulf is getting broader day by day among her and her family. But love finds her in her distress and claims to change her life. If you believe in love it will reach you someday, you just have to embrace yourself and reach out to that love. Love is an everlasting veracity, Some love authority and power, some love position, Some may love money, some may love an individual, or if not from the above some love themselves with utmost earnestness. In short, we can say that love is present everywhere in this world. This novel is a great pick to read, the way narrative shifts from time to time, one moment we are in twelfth century with Shamas of Tabraiz and Rumi and the very first moment we are back to 21st century. The camaraderie and friendship of Shamas of Tabraiz and Rumi is also wonderful and the way forty rules are explained is just marvelous.
The
character of A.Z.Zahara is humanistic as he is a dervish; the way he inspires
to look after humanity without any trace of racism is commendable. There are a
lot of people even today who work for humanity and they are without any doubt,
are awesome people.Have you read it? if Yes then how was your experience?
