    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorites.  Ishiguro's writing is so subtle.  Somehow he can get us to feel and understand so much from a narrator who says so little and who avoids acknowledging his feelings.<br/>Stephens is one of my favorite characters in all of literature despite the fact that he is only a butler of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1828167">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the story of a road trip. Stevens, and aging butler, has been given his employer's car to explore the south of England for several days. He is a rigid man, wedded to the class system, and his place in it as the concientious butler. He tragically misses the fact that the housekeeper loves him...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40868583">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One would think a novel in the form of a memoir of a British butler might run a bit flat. But with this book I could tell on page one it was going to be good. Not since <em>Old Goriot</em> have I had such an immediate sense for the story.  The flow of the book confirmed my serendipitous sign.
