Heartbreak and longing are centre stage as BAFTA-winning actor Steve Pemberton narrates Kazuo Ishiguro’s contemporary classic.
Heartbreak and longing are centre stage as BAFTA-winning actor Steve Pemberton narrates Kazuo Ishiguro’s contemporary classic.
The Remains of the Day is Ishiguro's beautiful and haunting evocation of life between the wars in a great English house, told from the perspective of its stoic head butler, Stevens.
In the summer of 1956, Stevens embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and deeper into his past. Has tradition and reserve led to aching loss?
Winner of the 1989 Booker prize and one of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, The Remains of the Day is a tale of convention, love and regret in an interwar stately home that is both deeply affecting and richly atmospheric.
