Ella Rubinstein has seemingly everything to be happy: a beautiful house in Massachusetts, three beautiful children, a faithful dog. But on the eve of his fortieth birthday, she wonders if she has not gone beside herself. The infidelities of her husband are no longer a mystery and cooking classes on Thursday not enough to exalt his monotonous life. Decided to resume work, she was hired as a reader by a literary agent. His first assignment: write a note on a manuscript signed Aziz Z. Zahara. This novel, which recounts the encounter between the poet Rumi and the most famous dervish of the Muslim world, Shams of Tabriz, will be a revelation for Ella.Throughout the pages, she discovers Sufism, the rejection of convention and the splendor of love. This story proves to be the mirror of his own.Aziz - as Shams Rumi did for seven centuries ago - would it come release?
Impressions: No this is not a book on yet another depressed woman, no it is not just another book to rosewater for romantic housewife. Yes, the summary is a little draw, and yes it should read ...
A beautiful mystical tale straight out of the tales of Thousand and One Nights. An entertaining way and beautifully written to discover or deepen Sufism. The Muslim spirituality much closer to us than Islam hardcore ... A book on Love, a book about love ..
My detractors will always say that the end is a bit immoral, after all, Ella is a crisis of teen and she fits into a cult ... I agree but I think the key lies in the call to conversion, the quest for the Absolute
