The Remains Of The Day

In the summer of 1956, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and into his past ... A haunting tale of lost causes and a lost love, 'The Remains of the Day' contains Kazuo Ishiguro's evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House - within those walls can be heard ever more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe. A tragic, spiritual portrait of a perfect English butler and his reaction to his fading insular world in post-war England.
