The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak is here to elucidate the fact that all you need is love. It brings the idea of love for humanity into the forefront in a world that is devoid of spiritualism and faith. This powerful novel not only compares two different generations, but it also brings together two centuries to drive home the fact that the world truly needs only one solution for all its problems - love. About the Novel No matter the nature of the problem - cosmic, national, regional, or personal, this novel states that love has the power to save humanity from religious bigotry and intolerance of beliefs and ideas. The Forty Rules of Love is here to remind you that not all is lost in the world. It’s here to help you think more about this world and also help you fall in love with the world of Sufism.
