This is my first book from the author Elif Shafak, and i can say that it was quite interesting. I was quite impressed with the way Elif Shafak told the story about Rumi and Shams, (as we know both of them as famous poet) through the eye from people around them. On the other side of the parallel world, there's Ella who struggle with her current life and how she learn about Rumi and Shams through amateur writer, Aziz with his writings. There are so many beautiful and meaningful quotes in this novel, and one of my favorite is, "If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't love enough."
