A Moth to the Flame: The Life of the Sufi Poet Rumi, Connie Zweig - "In A Moth to the Flame, the first novel about the life of the Sufi sage and poet Rumi (1207-1273), we discover the key moments that shaped his genius. Although this story happened a long time ago, during another period of war between Islam and the West, this tale of an individual life fully lived is the tale of every life. In the tradition of Siddhartha and The Last Temptation of Christ and based on original sources in both Farsi and English, this is a mythic story of the human soul" (from the publisher). 891.55 Z6M 2006
