read | Ishiguro: August's book of the month

Our book review this month will be on Kazuo Ishiguro's 'The Remains of the Day'.  We're revealing the book now so you can read it with us!

We've heard lots of good things about this book, but haven't read anything by Ishiguro before, so we're excited to see what his writing style is like.

Reading at my desk = happy days :)

Here's the blurb:

In the summer of 1957, Stevens, the ageing butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on a leisurely holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and into his past... 

A haunting tale of lost causes and a lost love, The Remains of the Day contains Ishiguro's now celebrated evocation of life between the wars in a Great English House - withing those walls can be heard ever more distinct echoes of the violent upheavals spreading across Europe.  

We hope you like it, and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it later on!

Enjoy today!!
