Seen reading at work


I've been working with E.D. on and off for several months and I only just learned she's fluent in Turkish. Awesome!

Şafak is a best-selling writer in Turkey although she was born in France and has also written a few books in English. This novel, which will be published in English in February as THE FORTY RULES OF LOVE, draws parallels between a romance in contemporary Amsterdam and the life of the Persian poet Rumi.
