One of the best books I've ever read. I feel so priviledged to have been able to share this wonderful book with you. So unique, thoughtful clever and Insightful.
I can't wait to read your next book...But I feel I need to reread this one, The rules of love, again, as it contains so much wisdom that I want to absorb.
What a truly wonderful example of a human being you are; embracing and touching so many diverse lives around the world. Thank you 🙏🌟❤

Hello Mrs Shafak, just let you know I read your book " The Forty Rules of Love" 3 times (In English, Farsi and the Farsi AudioBook) first, I have noticed how similar is my wife to Elly (apart from that I don't cheat on her as I love her so much and I respect all she has done for us) and then I gave your book to her and I saw how she enjoyed every single word of your book. Just to say thank you very much and I hope I can practice more the rules of love, we love you very much. Thanks @ElifShafak

She is so powerful and effective Author especially
Concerning the concept of Feminism, Populism, Globalization, Citizenship,love and the secrets of the man. And woman relationships. Herself she is affected by her life and her childhood and her mom and dad relationship . in addition to the situation of women in Turkey. She wanted to fight. Against women violence unless it finishes and takes her human_being rights.

The forty rules of love is such an amazing book which represents all what this gorgeous writer believes and wants to make truth not just in Turkish society but rather all over the world.

I never read Elif Shafak novel.

I lisened to them. She was alway told to me. So there was always community: her, writer; reader; me, listener.
