From the Nobel Prize–winning author, winner of the Booker
Prize, a bestseller, and the basis for an award-winning film.
Here is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of
Stevens, the perfect butler, and of his fading, insular world in
post-World War II England. Stevens, at the end of three decades
of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country
drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an
effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by
serving the great gentleman, Lord Darlington. But lurking in his
memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's
greatness, and much graver doubts about the nature of his own
life.
Characters: 65. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
