About the Book: The Remains of the Day
A compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular
world in postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at
Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back
over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving"a
great gentleman." But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of
Lord Darlington's"greatness" and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he
has served.
