After a very tiring slump. The Remains of the Day was a wonderful story to get into. The plot revolves around the butler of a once-great English house and a trip he takes. This might not be a book to everyone's taste as the language gets a bit wordy in order to fit with the theme and timeline of the book. However, it has a cute and subtle humorous tone which is amplified because of its personality defining moments. This is not a book where a lot of "things" happen, it is character driven and very realistic in its perspectives. Solid read,4/5
