*Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel Klara and the Sun is now available*
WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE
A contemporary classic, The Remains of the Day is Kazuo Ishiguro's beautiful and haunting evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House.
In the summer of 1956, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the countryside and into his past.
'A triumph . . . This wholly convincing portrait of a human life unweaving before your eyes is inventive and absorbing, by turns funny, absurd and ultimately very moving.' Sunday Times
'A dream of a book: a beguiling comedy of manners that evolves almost magically into a profound and heart-rending study of personality, class and culture.' New York TImes Book Review
Kundrecensioner
Magnificent
Even though this isn’t the type of book I would normally pick up to read, it has proven to be a pleasant surprise. Even though the story progresses slowly, the end is what really pulls it together - so many raw emotions in which the readers are able to find themselves.
I highly recommend it, and I thank my English professor for choosing this as the final work of the course.
