Dear Elif
Today I just finished reading your latest book ´The Forty Rules of Love´. It was lovely and made the sufi teachings so easily accessible written in novel form bringing in the wonderful teachings of Shams i Tabriz and Rumi. Thank you for a wonderful read......I will now find your other books and start reading.....many thanks, Yvonne

Reading 40 Rules and to say that I´m ecstatic about the book is putting it mildly - I still have only read 50 pages and nurture every word (keep on going back - with a little bit of luck I will still be reading this magic book till the end of days. Besotted with Rumi. Live in South Africa and would like to introduce The Afrikaans speaking people (1 of our languages) to Rumis works from English to Afrikaans. I have started on a small scale but the time has arrived to go big as this dream is busy overpowering me. Please can anybody help? It is a huge task but Im determine to do this especially having your 40 Rules on my lap! Help please!

Just finished your book 40 rules aka Ashk in English. One of those books I loved & hated at the same time <grin>. I hated the errors (actually just a few minor things) of history etc but loved the stories. When are you going to put the 40 Rules into a rulebook <grin>? Hope this opens up things for you God Willing.
