A butler takes a journey and begins to confront the cost of his loyalty.
Kazuo Ishiguro gives self-examination a restrained, indirect form. The appeal is in noticing what a carefully controlled account struggles to admit. Choose this for a quiet novel about work, feeling and moral responsibility, where an apparently modest recollection can gradually change the reader's understanding of an entire life.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
