Calm and Quiet after a Storm of Words
After reading several wordy and intricately detailed books, I found solace in Kazuo Ishiguro's "The Remains of the Day." He could teach a masterclass in precision, subtlety, and restraint. His writing is deceptively simple yet intensely evocative, melancholic, and elegant. Oh, to write like Ishiguro! Each word is meticulously selected, immersing the reader in the introspective journey of Stevens as he grapples with a steady march of time. Every moment feels significant. Every word serves a purpose. It was a refreshing and gratifying read.

A former butler of a Nazi sympathiser muses about his past. Quite funny and sort of moving / beautiful at times. Masterfully written. Perils of the British stiff upper lip. Made me want to go on a motoring tour of the British countryside
