Publisher's summary

From the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature

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.

A great book, brilliantly read

A fantastically moving story, brilliantly written and full of detail and subtlety. I like how Ishiguro allows the reader to interpret the characters’ motives without too much interference. Dominic West is so good that after a few minutes I forgot it was him and just enjoyed the ride.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
