About this listen
From the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature
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.

Pure delight
A wonderful glimpse into the customs and culture of a period in time when restraint mattered.

Brilliant, beautifully written tale
A deeply moving tale of an unwitting victim of the British class system who lives his life for an aristocracy that viewed him as a " loyal" but inferior servant. The death of his father reveals the subtle cruelty the narrator accepts as he strives to be a "first rate butler".

Read The Remains of the Day
Such a gentle, beautiful book. The Remains of the Day is why Ishiguro is such an important writer.

Wonderful powerful yet gently told story
Very subtly told, gripping book about the English aristocracy and those that serve them. Reading this we can clearly see how they went on to treat our diggers, and their own, as cannon fodder.

A true classic
Narration was sublime. Really enjoyed this book. The inner workings of a foregone era leave me strangely both regretful at its loss and yet thankful for the freedom we enjoy today.

Subtle, thoughtful, mature and beautiful
I’m so glad I listened to this. So powerful yet subtle. The main character is so perfect yet so flawed. I cried in the end.
Some will not enjoy this. I feel sorry for these people.
