The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak is a mesmerizing exploration of love's transformative power, acknowledged as one of the BBC's 100 Novels that Shaped the World. This international bestseller invites readers on an enchanting journey where the heart's true desires unfold.

At the center of the story is Ella Rubinstein, a seemingly content woman whose stable family life takes a turn as she uncovers a manuscript that reshapes her worldview. Through the profound friendship between the 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi and the enigmatic Shams of Tabriz, Ella discovers the forty rules of love that challenge societal norms and illuminate the path to authentic connection.

Set against a backdrop of Sufi mysticism and rich storytelling, The Forty Rules of Love weaves a dual narrative, intertwining Ella’s contemporary life with Rumi’s historical journey. Readers will resonate with key themes such as:

  • Self-discovery: Unveil the hidden desires that may define your own life.
  • Connection: Grasp the profound impact love has on the human spirit.
  • Spirituality: Engage with timeless teachings that echo through generations.

Critics have lauded this beautiful tale; The Times praises its seamless merging of past and present, while Metro describes it as "enlightening." Shafak’s captivating narrative draws readers into a heart-rending exploration of love’s enduring power. Experience the magic of The Forty Rules of Love and allow it to inspire you in recognizing the connections that shape your existence.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
