The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

5.0

What is the key to a happy life? “I rather fancy it has more to do with this skill of bantering.” The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro is an introspective masterpiece by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Mr. Stevens is the butler at Darlington House. This novel covers a week where he considers his life of dignity and service, while the reader considers the broader question of the meaning and purpose of life. Mr. Stevens ends on a melancholy note but the reader gains from sharing the week.

A beautiful novel for those who have more to look back to than forward to.
