The Remains of the Day

Sue says about Remains of the Day: "The first of Kazuo Ishiguro's novels that I read, a poignant but perfect story set in a country house during the 1930's about a butler who sets aside love in favour of service and duty."

A contemporary classic, The Remains of the Day is Kazuo Ishiguro's beautiful and haunting evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House. In the summer of 1956, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the countryside and into his past.
