The unmade bed

Completed the book. The ending was not what i had hoped for. The story is about " love between a man and a woman". The woman is a famous actress who has no qualms about changing lovers. She has a brief fling with the guy and dumps him for a director. Five years later, the guy, who is now a budding playwright, and who has not been able to get over her, professes his love for her again. And they pick up from where they left. The guy is completely and hopelessly in love with her. But she considers it just like another affair, to be ended when it is convenient. She gives in to physical temptation and sleeps around but even when he finds out, he stays devoted to her. In the end, she falls in love with him. And the story ends on that note. i so wanted the guy to get over her.

Love is such a strange emotion. And that is such an inane conclusion.
