Query: Hopeless romantic

At the outset, it seemed to be an (another) East meets West story, but it truly felt to be a book about love. The character Samar has always been in love with books, and is content to live a bookish life - four walls, a window and shelves of knowledge. He is a faithful lover and truly believes everything he reads. At Benares, his love is tested as he rediscovers life in the flesh - his growing love for Catherine and shocking realization of the European world-age traveler. The story is spiritual and romantic. In the end he hopes to live a meditative life with his one true love.
