The story of forty nights in the city of Qelenders

This mystical literary book is narrated by Bushra Kesnezani.

As the author states, this book is a story like narration. The book consists of 40 different stories told by different people. Each one of them enters through a door and starts telling their own stories. At first, it seems like the stories are narrated for the readers, about the city of qelenders, a kingdom filled with beauty and light, but this is not the case. After several nights of telling the story, the reader realizes the stories are told to their lady, each one talks of her differently, but they all agree on her stubbornness and her heartless nature, and they all hope that she starts remembering everything soon, since their storyteller lady is suffering from amnesia.

The author has worked on this narration creatively. Through every door that you enter, you become more curious and eager to finish the story.

The kingdom of qelenders is home to all. Much of this book talks about their monks, Dervish and sheikhs, their ceremonies and their love for their own sheikhs each, talks about honest promising people and them playing their Temburs, makes you experience what you are reading and become a member of their kingdom. It talks about love, the love of God and the love of people and the line where these loves meet. Each of those who come to visit the lady and tell her stories has their own characters, they tell her of their own troubles and want to help her at the same time, they are storytellers, writers, nobles, messengers, and many others. Their stories are parts of the great story of the lady which they impatiently want to finish and write down, the story of their origin and the kingdom of the Qelenders.
