Book Reviews of The Remains of the Day
Book Review: Evocative, powerful and heart-breaking
Summary: 5 Stars
What starts as a straightforward journey into the English countryside soon becomes a journey into the past for Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall. The Remains of the Day is a haunting tale of duty and love, and its portrayal of human life, and what it means to be human, is at once both inventive, convincing, and ultimately very moving. It is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read.
