Next I’d love to read 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World and Honour by Elif Shafak. To conclude, I recommend reading both stories! They’re captivating and tackle a wide variety of topics, keeping at core religious beliefs and identity themes.

And a lovely postcard from Istanbul, from years ago. The two books I read by Elif Shafak: Three Daughters of Eve and The Forty Rules of Love. Turkey is a central aspect in both stories.Religious beliefs were an important aspect in the characters’ lives.Featured middle-aged women, housewives, who feel trapped in the status quo.

I also noticed some similarities from a content perspective:

Each chapter starts with a mention of the place and time, it’s like the reader is taken by the hand and guided through time and space.Structured in relatively short chapters, thus the stories are very easy to follow.Alternating timelines, jumping between present and past.Similarities between Three Daughters of Eve & The Forty Rules of Love by Elif ShafakĪfter reading the two books I noticed some similarities between them, from a structure perspective: It was a very educating read, while being captivating at the same time! I hadn’t heard about the two people before, and neither about Sufism – a mystical practice in Islam. This story introduced me for the first time into the life of Persian poet Rumi and his companion Shams, from the 13th century. an unusual love story from the 21st centuryīoth stories revolve around the concept of love, and there is a connection between them!.a (historical fiction) story of a mystic friendship from the 13th century.The next book I read by Elif Shafak was The Forty Rules of Love (2009).
