The Book Club book
The Remains of the Day is a modern day classic. It won the Booker Prize, and later Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his work. This is both beautiful and haunting, the story of a life spent in the 1920s and 1930s in a Great English House. The main protagonist, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, is one of the great contemporary literary characters. In the summer of 1956, he starts a quiet holiday that will lead him 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
Geoff says:
"This book is often listed as one of the best novels of the last 25 years. It is interesting not only for its cultural elements, but also for its philosophical questioning of what it means to live a life."
