The front cover of the book "The Remains of the Day". On a monochrome black background the title and author are written in the upper left corner. The only other image on the page is a large wind-up pocket watch, which occupies the lower right of the image. The watch looks heavy and expensive, like something which might have been used by an English butler in the 1920s

#AdventOfBooks 2024 Day 2: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro #bookstodon
The story of the butler Stevens, and his life in service at Darlington Hall, told as he drives through England, remembering his time with the late Lord Darlington
What makes the book is the tension between what a cold and dignified Stevens narrates and what we infer must have happened, as well as what we can infer about Stevens' relationship with the people around him, and about the character of his employer
