The Remains of the Day won the 1989 Booker Prize and cemented Kazuo Ishiguro's place as one of the world's greatest writers. David Lodge, chairman of the judges in 1989, said, it's 'a cunningly structured and beautifully paced performance'. This is a haunting evocation of lost causes and lost love, and an elegy for England at a time of acute change. Ishiguro's work has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide.
Stevens, the long-serving butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the countryside, but also into his own past. Reflecting on his years of service, he must re-examine his life in the face of changing Britain, and question whether his dignity and properness have come at a greater cost to himself.

长难句不多,词汇量要求一般,前两百页看得我昏昏欲睡,但所有的戏剧冲突、沧桑感和历史感都在最后迸发了出来。 对管家的厌烦到同情到五味杂陈,突然发现自己被带入了这个故事。写的都是老一套的东西,却自有它的迷人之处。
评分She said she was unhappy in a flimsy plight with nonchalance after leaving, nevertheless she had been falling in love with her husband gradually. You know his heart was broken then. He knew he should cease looking back and try to make the best of what remains of his day. Love was not always there waiting for anyone. The reality was not romantic.
