It’s by Kazuo Ishiguro. I love the style of writing. It’s sensitive and exciting and relatable. I also enjoy the philosophy behind the story that unfolds. And of course, the way it unfolds!
Ishiguro is super descriptive and image-evoking in his writing and the dialogue between the two main characters who are an elderly couple is so heartwarming and precious. it's set in early medieval england and has era-appropriate feeling dialogue without any thees, thys, and thous for the most part.
when I visited my friend Nico’s house last winter, they gave me their own copy of ‘The Remains of the day‘ presenting it as a book that changed their way of seeing life.
To be honest it is a very powerful and lovely novel, the characters feel very real but also very dreamlike, all of them are described with their own set of traits which makes this short novel a very nice time. it took a while for me to finish it but it’s very light. I wasn’t very familiar with Ishiguro’s work but this was a great introduction.
