À propos de cet audio

In this follow-up to her acclaimed 2007 novel The Bastard of Istanbul, Turkish author Elif Shafak unfolds two tantalizing parallel narratives---one contemporary and the other set in the 13th century, when Rumi encountered his spiritual mentor, the whirling dervish known as Shams of Tabriz---that together incarnate the poet's timeless message of love.

Ella Rubenstein is 40 years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent. Her first assignment is to read and report on Sweet Blasphemy, a novel written by a man named Aziz Zahara. Ella is mesmerized by his tale of Shams' search for Rumi and the dervish's role in transforming the successful but unhappy cleric into a committed mystic, passionate poet, and advocate of love. She is also taken with Shams's lessons, or rules, which offer insight into an ancient philosophy based on the unity of all people and religions, and the presence of love in each and every one of us. As she reads on, she realizes that Rumi's story mirrors her own and that Zahara---like Shams---has come to set her free.

I have read this book before- it is a beautiful story pregnant with meaning- several layers of it. I listened to it now on audible 3 years after having read it. The narrator does it justice. This is a book to be read more than once for it shall mean different things to you in various seasons of life.

I love love

The narrator does not have a gift for accents and different voices. All the male characters sound vaguely Mediterranean with a random bit of Irish showing up here and there. The women all sound simpering. This was an unfortunate distraction from what I found to be a wonderful story.

Great story, but distracting narration.

Strongly recommend this book to all Rumi fans and lovers of Sufism. The parallel modern story of Ella and Aziz is fascinating. A true masterpiece.

This is an excellent book in my opinion and I personally liked the way narrator presented the story.
The writer is using a subtle technique to get the reader to think about life and death and what is important in life.

One of the best books I've listened to

Good presentation and plot. Makes for a good light read. Love the juxtaposition of the 2 ages. Interesting to see love is still relevant even today
