    About this audiobook

    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.

      Set in the evening of the British Empire, this is an insightful, compassionate look at the life of an English butler. The novel exposes the elitism and narcissm of the British ruling classes, and how many of those who worked for them bought into their own subjugation.

      The Butler Stevens was a very disconcerting voice to have in my ears all day, but a voice that forced me into a different perspective. A very worthwhile listen.

      Fantastic. It really evoked a great mixture of emotions within me.. The language was superb and well read... such an important component.
