Description
In the summer of 1956, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and into his past . . . A haunting tale of lost causes and lost love, The Remains of the Day, winner of the Booker Prize, contains Ishiguro's now celebrated evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House - within its walls can be heard ever more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe.

Unforgettable...
Let me tell you, this is an incredibly touching story. Having read it, i'm sure this would remain a favourite of mine for years to come. you may not find the idea that the book is about an ageing butler very interesting. but quite surprisingly it gets you thinking. If you are not able to finish the book quickly,do be patient, the work deserves your time. Can you imagine the kind of loyalty n faith it takes a man to spend his life in its entirety for someone else? I'm positive that people of o...

Super!
Kazuo Ishiguro's "Remains of the day," is
beautifully written, so evocative of that particular era, that one longs & yearns to travel back in time to experience it........loved it & it certainly is a firm favourite. Had watched the movie a long time ago, but read the book for the first time now, and found it as mesmerizing as the movie.

The remains of the day
One of the most sensitive and delicately crafted novels I have read. I saw the film after my first read and then, 6 years later, I bought and read it again.
I was not less moved.
Ishigura is an expert story teller and the essence of his characters each bear a color and
a subtlety that takes your breath away.
Quite apart from the fact that it is an education in old-world reticence and values, even though slightly over done!

Classic
The novel never goes out of the way to build the story through the flashbacks and travelogue of an old butler on a journey. Loyalty, dignity, relationships, politics and even romance were discussed in the most astonishing style devoid of the cheap theatrics.

Good one
This goes in the good category of the novels i have read. It talks about the butler system in England. The plot is well laid out. The protagonist recalls his experiences, who is a butler. One might redefine the meaning of 'dignity' after reading this novel. Language is good. I would definitely recommend this as part of academic curriculum.
