About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook edition of The Forty Rules of Love written by Elif Shafak, read by George Blagden.
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 his mentor Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, she is ready to look at her life anew. Compelled to embrace change, she embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author. It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into a faraway world where faith and doubt are heartbreakingly explored. The Forty Rules of Love is a mesmerising tale of discovery, language, truth and, of course, love itself.

My first Audible experience
This book was recommended to me by my friend who also suggested signing up for audible.
The Forty Rules of Love is the first book I have read by Elif Shafak. It’s a beautiful story about love, kindness and friendship. I particularly enjoyed Shafak’s descriptions of whatever there was in this book. Moreover, different colours of the voice of the narrator added this extra factor to the entire experience. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

amazingly beautiful and captivating
This was the most amazing and captivating book I ever read.
Not only written in a elegant and intriguing narrative, but also having the main story (that is a gift in itself) counted from the different perspective, made us dive deep in story in the characters skin, making it impossible to stop listening to it from start to end.
It was Genius!

A true eye opener
I was quite perplexed wether to buy this, thinking it might be anther generic love novel. How wrong was I - this book is a true eye opener, it is about love; but a very philosophical approach to it. The story was excellent & one can definitely improve oneself by listening to this novel. Amazing.

Weird emotions
I liked the fact that those are 2 stories in one
Its like i was watching a netflix series that i was eager to jump to the next chapter.
I loved the performance. It is captivating.
The arabic pronunciation is not good for an Arabic speaking person.
Great book.

A touching story and an equally touching narration
The book has successfully given life to many characters, each of which had their own beliefs and opinions.
The narrator did a great job embodying the different characters and distinguishing between them.
The only reason I didn't rate it as a 5 star book was because of the gloominess that surrounded the final chapters.
