SAD TIMES.
This book makes me feel nostalgic about something I've never experienced.
Ishiguro's books seem to adress the simple (and depresssing) life that the common people live, and it hits me every single time.

Annoying Nazi butler book.
One is simply accepting an inescapable truth: that the likes of you and I will never be in a position to comprehend the great affairs of today’s world, and our best course will always be to put our trust in an employer we judge to be wise and honorable, and to devote our energies to the task of serving him to the best of our ability.

The writing is delightful; emotions are at times expressed indirectly or subtly through body language.
A gently heartbreaking novel about the sudden growing realisation of the prison that someone can build for themselves with the ambition to do the right thing, particularly when done in service of the wrong ideals. Portrayed through the reflections of a butler remembering his service to a Nazi sympathetic master it shows how this dedication to service leads him to cripple all of the genuinely important relationships in his life in a way that is quite profound.
