Description

A Mirrored Life: The Rumi Novel

My learned readers, you know that there are stories even before there are stories, but some stories are bound by fate.

On his way from Tangiers to China, the medieval Moorish traveller Ibn Battuta arrives in Konya, Turkey where the legendary dervish Rumi had lived, danced and died.

More than half a century may have passed since his death, but his poetry remains alive, inscribed in every stone and tree and pathway. Rumis followers entrust Ibn Battuta with a manuscript of his life stories to spread word of the mystic on his travels.

As Battuta reads and recites these tales, his listeners discover their own lives reflected in these stories – fate has bound them and perhaps you, to Rumi. A Mirrored Life reaffirms the magical powers of storytelling, making us find Rumi in each of our hearts.
