Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Trade paperback. A tantalizing novel about love and mysticism from Turkey's bestselling female author; her previous novel, "The Bastard Of Istanbul" was longlisted for the Orange Prize, and has been translated into more than 20 languages. It is about a middle-aged woman, whose new job as a reader for a literary agent introduces her to the ancient Sufi mystic, Rumi, with life-changing consequences.
Publisher's description:
Ella Rubenstein is forty years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent - and suddenly her life is transformed. Her first assignment is to read a novel about the ancient Sufi mystic, Rumi, who was transformed by the whirling dervish into a passionate poet and advocate of love.
