The Remains of the Day (1989) by Kazuo Ishiguro is a poignant novel that explores themes of duty, regret, and the passage of time. The story is narrated by Stevens, an ageing English butler who reflects on his decades of service at Darlington Hall. During a road trip in the 1950s, Stevens recalls his unwavering loyalty to Lord Darlington, even as he begins to question his former employer’s pro-German sympathies before World War II. Stevens also grapples with missed opportunities for personal happiness, particularly in his relationship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. The novel is a meditation on dignity and the cost of devotion.
