The Forty Rules of Love
1. The Island of Missing Trees
A deeply moving and beautifully poetic story about forbidden love, divided lands, and the healing power of nature. Set between war-torn Cyprus and modern London, this novel unfolds through the unique perspective of a fig tree, reminding us how deeply our roots shape who we are.
2. The Architect’s Apprentice
Journey into the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a young elephant keeper’s destiny intertwines with one of the empire’s greatest architects. This vivid historical tale blends art, ambition, love, and betrayal amid the magnificent domes and minarets of 16th-century Istanbul.
3. The Bastard of Istanbul
A rich, multi-generational saga that bridges Turkey and America, exploring the unspoken wounds of history and the ties that bind families across continents. Through humour and heartbreak, Shafak confronts identity, belonging, and the silence surrounding the Armenian genocide.
4. The Forty Rules of Love
The worldwide bestseller that redefined the meaning of love and spirituality. Two parallel stories — one modern, one ancient — intertwine: a contemporary woman’s awakening and the legendary friendship between the poet Rumi and his mentor Shams of Tabriz. Within these pages lie 40 timeless rules that will touch your heart and soul.
