      "As the new century begins, Adele Bloch-Baucher--young, brilliant, and Jewish--is hungry for freedoms unknown to other Viennese women. Then she meets renegade genius Gustav Klimt. Even in an age when sex and art are beginning to break through the facade of convetional society, anti-Semintism simmers in the shadows of Adele's coffeehouse afternoons and cultural salons. 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
