About This Novel

We know too little about love. The forty laws of love from eight hundred years ago teach us how to love well. Ella, an ordinary housewife, after more than 20 years of living a family-focused life, finally made up her mind to escape from her soured marriage, return to her old career, and return to the literary world she loved when she was young. Soon, she found a job at a literary agency, and her first job was to read a submitted novel "Sweet Blasphemy." This work, delivered from a distant country, brings Ella into the strange, mysterious and fascinating world of the 13th century: Rumi, the Islamic sage revered by millions, met Shaamushi, the pagan wandering monk. The two soul mates broke away from worldly taboos and stayed behind closed doors for forty days to learn and explore the meaning of life together. Shamus taught Rumi the "Forty Laws of Love." While Ella was reviewing "Sweet Blasphemy", she had an email discussion with the author Aziz on the emotional and philosophical issues involved in the novel. While the two were exchanging emails, their feelings secretly arose! During her interactions with Aziz, Ella constantly reflected on her life and explored the true meaning of love. In the end, she gained the courage to escape from her current life and boldly pursue love and herself...

It's a very good story. It's close to the truth and has a sincere heart. It uses stories from the past to describe the current situation and looks forward to the future. It has a very complete story frame.
