In the summer of 1956, Stevens, a long-serving butler at Darlington Hall, decides to take a motoring trip through the West Country. The six-day excursion that follows becomes a journey into the past of both Stevens and England; a past that takes in fascism, two world wars, and an unrealized love between the butler and his housekeeper . . .
A spellbinding portrayal of a vanished way of life and a haunting meditation on the high cost of duty, Kazuo Ishiguro's prize-winning masterpiece The Remains of the Day became an international sensation upon publication, was adapted into an award-winning film, and has since become commonly regarded as a modern classic.
“This is a work that goes to the heart of a lost life. Beautifully composed, totally unsentimental, immeasurably tender.” -- The Observer
