The most successful novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author in a luxurious linen edition. Stevens serves as a butler at Darlington Hall. He maintains a flawless household and embodies discretion: he would never utter a word about the strange occurrences in the manor. He dedicates his life entirely to the service of his master. He brusquely rebuffs the cautious advances of Miss Kenton, the housekeeper. For many years, he lives devotedly in his world until one day the past catches up with him. It is a critical portrait of a society shaped by class and hierarchies, and a bittersweet love story told by someone who never questions his station and who never even suspected that he loved.
