Two Souls Across Eight Centuries
What happens when an ancient mystical love story collides with a modern woman's stagnant life? "The Forty Rules of Love" weaves together two parallel narratives that mirror each other across eight centuries. In present-day Massachusetts, Ella Rubinstein is a 40-year-old housewife trapped in a loveless marriage, going through the motions of domestic life while ignoring her husband's infidelities. Her first assignment as a literary agency reader introduces her to "Sweet Blasphemy," a novel about the transformative friendship between the 13th-century poet Rumi and the wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz. As Ella corresponds with the manuscript's author, Aziz Zahara, she begins questioning everything she thought she knew about love, spirituality, and her own capacity for transformation. The ancient tale and modern story reflect each other like twin mirrors, showing how love's essential truths transcend time and culture. When Ella's daughter announces her engagement to a free-spirited artist, their heated arguments expose the hollowness of Ella's own philosophy: "You want me to make the same safe choices you did," her daughter accuses. Meanwhile, across centuries, Shams challenges Rumi with a similar insight: "How can you know God when you don't even know yourself?"
