Rumi's Daughter, written by Muriel Maufroy who has also published a book of Rumi's quotations called the Breathing Truth. Rumi, the great Persian poet and one of the mystical poets of all time, he was acutely famous for his unconventional perspectives and ideas. He lived in Anatolia, which considered being synonymous with Asian Turkey. He had an extraordinary spiritual friendship with a man called Shams Tabriz and had brought and raised an adopted girl, Kimya, into his family who later on married Shams.
This lively novel discussed the life of Kimya and how her life transformed by finding Shams and how, by marrying Shams, her soul begins a journey into a soothing fire.
Holistically, the novel was unbelievable and fascinating. There were moments when I have felt lost in much tenderness and kept on reading all night until comforting morning. Meanwhile reading this unusual novel, it has broadened my horizon, positively influenced the eloquence of life, and taught me to live a life beyond life. There were several startling quotes, stated through conversations and while character's reflections; however, I would like to mention two of them;
"There are many ways to knowledge. Some paths are invisible. Not seeing the path doesn't mean you're not on it; on the contrary."
Furthermore, "Love has no end. It is an ocean without shores. You have to learn to bear it."
Conclusively, this beautiful novel narrates the story of an extraordinary girl who was looking for the true meaning of life, and attentive and nature-loving girl, who shared courtesy to others and embraced the burning fire of her inside, and ultimately, recognized herself and annihilated in that burning fire.
