“This is a book about the life of a butler, and the life of the English gentry as seen from his eyes. Ishiguro infuses his butler's narrative with a compelling voice. Among the hardest things to achieve while writing a first-person account is to convey the narrator's sentiments and opinions while simultaneously allowing the reader to get a broader more unbiased perspective. Ishiguro manages that beautifully, and manages to make a staid butler a character you become invested in.”
