The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
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 heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love. This book follows her on a journey of self-discovery as she examines her life and the concept of love through Sufi mysticism.
