Description
From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Never Let Me Go.
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 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, of lost causes and lost love.

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro is highly praised for its poignant and subtle exploration of duty, regret, and the passage of time.

The novel's reflective narrative style and its exploration of human emotion and identity have earned it a celebrated place in contemporary literature.
