**Description:**
What does it mean to truly love, beyond time, religion, and reason? Join us for an inspiring discussion of *The Forty Rules of Love* by Elif Shafak. This unforgettable novel interweaves two parallel stories, one modern and one set in the 13th century, to explore the transformative power of love through the lives of Ella, a restless housewife, and Rumi, the great poet guided by the wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz.
We’ll meet at **Lebkov & Sons in Rotterdam** to unpack its timeless lessons on spirituality, connection, and what it means to awaken to love. As always, everyone gets a say in what we read next.

📅 **When:** Sunday, January 18th, 2026, from 2:00 PM
📍 **Where:** Lebkov & Sons, Rotterdam
👥 **Who:** Anyone who’s read the book and wants to explore it with open-minded readers.
🧠 **Space is limited to 20 participants so RSVP soon.**

**About the Book:**
In *The Forty Rules of Love*, Elif Shafak bridges East and West, past and present, through a story that invites reflection on faith, freedom, and the essence of love itself. Through Rumi and Shams’s spiritual bond, and Ella’s awakening in the present day, the novel offers forty life-changing insights that transcend centuries.
If you’re drawn to soulful, thought-provoking stories that question how we live and love, this one’s for you. Come share your reflections and be part of the conversation. 🌿📚
