I'm still working my way through Ishiguro's works but the one thing he always does is surprise. I've almost finished all of his novels and this was the one I was least excited about. However, as always Ishiguro delivered.
Set in the 1950s, the Butler of Darlington Hall is ageing and so is the concept of having a Butler. As he comes to terms with everything he knows coming to an end, he finally takes the time for a vacation after many dedicated years in his field.
Remains of the explore the memories of Darlington Hall through the gaze of the butler. It's an emotional evolutionary journey for him as he reflects and learns about the importance of communication and expression.
While Ishiguro was born in Japan, he is actually British and spent the majority of his life living in the United Kingdom.
