Book Review of The Remains of the Day

The Remains of the Day
laurieindra avatar reviewed Beautiful and haunting book on + 13 more book reviews


Compelling and lyrically written story of a man examining his life at its end and finding that the things he lived for may not have been worth the sacrifice. Some readers find it slow, I would describe it as liesurely and dream like, a book you can settle into and inhabit like a lazy summer afternoon. Sad, compelling and beautiful.
