Remains of the Day

 

The Remains of the DayThe Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a beautiful and tragic example of an unreliable narrator. What graceful examples of things shown and not told, of trusting the reader to understand through hints and glances and not shouting at him. It is depressing and hopeful at the same time. It is that tension and the ambiguity that makes this novel one of the best.
