In the summer of 1956, Stevens, a long-serving butler at Darlington Hall, decides to take a motoring trip through the West Country. The six-day excursion becomes a journey into the past of Stevens and England, a past that takes in fascism, two world wars, and an unrealised love between the butler and his housekeeper.
...extremely fluid, even more than other of Ishiguro's works...one of those books you want to keep going because of the pleasure of reading it.
