Nearly forty years later, Adele's niece Maria Altmann is a newlywed when the Nazis invade Austria--and overnight, her beloved Vienna becomes a war zone. When her husband is arrested and her parents are forced out of their stately home, Maria must summon the courage and resilience that is her aunt's legacy is she is to survive and keep her loved ones--and their history--alive."--Page 4 of cover

Ella Rubenstein is forty years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent - and suddenly her life is transformed. Her first assignment is to read a novel about the ancient Sufi mystic, Rumi, who was transformed by the whirling dervish into a passionate poet and advocate of love. Slowly she realizes that his thirteenth-century life is starting to mirror her own, and in doing so it opens up exciting opportunities for her to embrace the dervish's timeless message for herself. This is a mesmerizing novel about finding love and inspiration in the most unlikely of places. 'With its timely, thought-provoking message . . . The Forty Rules of Love deserves to be a global publishing phenomenon.' Independent

U ovom višestruko nagrađivanom autobiografskom romanu autor uvodi čitatelja u svijest mladog oca čiji je sin rođen s Downovim sindromom. Od prvobitnog šoka nakon dijagnoze do ulaska u svijet bolnica i terapija, autor isprepleće priču o životu svog sina s vlastitim transformacijama. Priča o sinu postaje za njega suočavanje sa samim sobom, vlastitim ograničenjima i mirenje s životnim ironijama. Kako sin napreduje, otac dobiva potvrdu da je borba vrijedna, dok stalna čežnja za "normalnim" životom postaje simbol njegove slabosti i sramote s kojom se mora suočiti. Iako se radi o ljudskoj drami, ova iskrena priča je lišena sentimentalnosti i patetike. Autentičnost pripovjedačeva glasa počiva na iskustvu autora, profesora lingvistike i oca, koji kroz trenutke tjeskobe, frustracije i krivnje vodi čitatelja prema spoznaji da je ravnotežu moguće postići samo suočavanjem s vlastitim nedostacima. Cristóvão Tezza, jedan od najuglednijih suvremenih brazilskih pisaca, autor je više nagrađivanih romana, uključujući "Vječni sin", koji je preveden na dvadesetak jezika i osvojio brojne prestižne nagrade.
