Publisher Description
BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is “an intricate and dazzling novel” (The New York Times) about the perfect butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England.
This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. 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.

Incredible
As good a novel to explore life’s meaning. Beautifully written. One of best books I’ve ever read
Nice book nice reader
A pleasant read/listen. The audio reader was perfect for this book.
Stunning Study Of A Flawed Man
The story of Stevens, a butler, who uses the strict formality of his position to hide from the world and from his emotions. Only at the end does he grasp a little of the damage this has done to himself and others. A profound novel that explores a very sincere but misguided loyalty.
