Description

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 lost love, The Remains of the Day, winner of the Booker Prize, contains Ishiguro’s now celebrated evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House – within its walls can be heard ever more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe.
