Review of 'The Remains of the Day' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Felt a bit annoyed trough out the book by the tone of the narrator (Mr. Stevens the buttler), but that's probably a fault of mine. I've never accepted blind servitude the likes of lords had with their staff.
In the end this is a book about choices in life and how we sometimes are carried away without much thought. It makes you think about your life's choices, the options you took in favour of others less obvious.
It's written beautifully and takes you back in time, a time and place where dignity was something to uphold.
It's a 4.5 rounded up ☺️
