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 Ishiguro's now celebrated 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.

  • Overdue read

    I had heard of this book and of course the film but hadn’t got around to reading the book. It got onto our book club list and although I haven’t finished it yet, it is wonderfully written. The language is beautiful and so lovely to immerse yourself in. Thoroughly recommend this book!

  • Truly wonderful story

    This classic story is one of the best I’ve ever read, beautifully written. The film is also excellent with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Highly recommend both. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Okay 👌

    Decent quality, arrived on time, different cover than shown which is a little disappointing but I got the book and there's nothing wrong with it.

    A poorly written book I do hope the film is a lot better.
