BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • From the Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro
In The Remains of the Day, Kazuo Ishiguro delivers an intricate and profoundly moving portrait of duty, regret, and self-deception in post-World War II England.
Stevens, a perfect English butler, has dedicated over three decades of his life to service at Darlington Hall. As he embarks on a quiet country drive, he begins to reflect on his years under the “great gentleman” Lord Darlington, convinced that his loyalty and devotion served a noble cause. But as his memories unravel, Stevens is forced to confront troubling questions about Lord Darlington’s true character—and the sacrifices he made for a life of unquestioning duty.
The Remains of the Day is a masterful exploration of identity, dignity, and the haunting weight of missed opportunities.
