Winner of the 1989 Booker Prize. In the summer of 1956, Stevens, an ageing butler, has embarked on a six day motoring trip through the West Country. But his holiday is disturbed by the memories of his past service to the late Lord Darlington, and most of all by the painful recollections of his friendship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. For the first time in his life, Stevens is forced to wonder if all his actions were for the best after all…A sad and humorous love story, and a witty meditation on the democratic responsibilities of the ordinary man.
