About the event
"The Forty Rules of Love" By Elif Shafak
If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough..."
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 thirteenth-century
Sufi poet Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, her world is turned
upside down. 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.
