After finishing the book my immediate thought was that this is about the love between manka and madhura.
But is it?
Are we simply ignoring Kumarasurar, how that soul's denial of love for a lifetime justified.
Is he punished for his feigning ignorance about a former relationship of his wife. 40 years of marriage and still no question answered.
40 years!!!!
with lot of questions in mind, I am not convinced myself for the thoughts about this book, still processing or may not catching the true depth.
But yes as always, author did his part, these characters lives in your mind forever.
