Elif Shafak

 

ELIF SHAFAK. My latest muse. An amazing writer who specialises in stories which are derivatives of the beautiful Turkish world. 

Currently I am enjoying my 4th read by her, “HONOR”. The previous ones which I thoroughly enjoyed are “40 RULES OF LOVE”, “BASTARDS OF ISTANBUL” and “THE APPRENTICE”.

After a long time, I have come across a writer who breathes life into each word she pens down. With so much love, thought and care. Not to mention, how she opens a whole new world for readers who have never been to Turkey and experienced the culture of this picturesque land. Her writings have elements of Sufism as well and that will inspire you to introspect into your own life at times. You will find meaning and logic in random happenings and find yourself taking solace from many of Rumi’s sayings. My favourite ones are actually too many to be mentioned here.

Highly recommend the books by ELIF SHAFAK.
