Powerfully moving and uplifting, Rumi's Daughter is a wonderful novel in which history, imagination and teaching are woven into one. It is a story within a story, in which three destinies - those of Rumi, the thirteenth century Sufi mystic poet, his adopted daughter Kimya, and his beloved spiritual friend Shams - unfold against the historical background of the decline of the Byzantine Empire and the Mongol invasions. As Kimya matures into womanhood, she finds herself drawn to Rumi's mysterious soulmate, Shams, and her soul's journey into fire begins. Combining the passion of Rumi's own verse with lyrical and deeply symbolic storytelling, this magnificent tale will subtly touch your heart as well as your mind. Let its light and its hidden melody resonate through you at all levels.
