Negative Positive
Title: The Remains of the Day
Review: This is certainly one of the greatest contemporary books in English for a very simple reason. Namely, if we forget about the exact time frame or locus and socio-cultural conditions surrounding the plot, we can still enjoy a fully developed story, which is totally human, emotionally involving and life fulfilling. The underlying love story is the underpinning of the whole scenario, although it is not intrusive by any means. Despite not achieving his love eventually, the butler has got to know the real meaning of that word and remains a man of real honour till the very end. In other words, a great book by an even greater author with an amazing biography.
