The Remains of the Day

Stevens, an ageing butler at Darlington Hall, sets out on a summer journey through the English countryside in 1956, only to find himself confronting the accumulated regrets of his past. Kazuo Ishiguro's haunting meditation explores life between the wars in a grand English house, weaving together themes of duty, lost love, and the cost of restraint. This contemporary classic captures the quiet tragedy of a man whose devotion to his position may have cost him everything that truly mattered.
