The Last Love Note.
Book DNA is a community of 12,000+ authors and super readers sharing their favorite books with the world.
What struck me most about this book is the first person narration of Mr Stevens, a butler who, while encouraged to take a holiday in the form of a road trip, realises how inept he is in social situations.
He then reflects on his commitment to his job, and as the reader, we see how his sense of duty has kept him from leading a full and satisfying life.
This is a beautiful character study, and a book I couldn't put down.
*Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel Klara and the Sun is now available to preorder*
The Remains of the Day won the 1989 Booker Prize and cemented Kazuo Ishiguro's place as one of the world's greatest writers. David Lodge, chairman of the judges in 1989, said, it's "a cunningly structured and beautifully paced performance". This is a haunting evocation of lost causes and lost love, and an elegy for England at a time of acute change. Ishiguro's work has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide.
Stevens, the long-serving butler of Darlington Hall, embarks on…
It is April 1st, 2038. Day 60 of China's blockade of the rebel island of Taiwan.
The US government has agreed to provide Taiwan with a weapons system so advanced that it can disrupt the balance of power in the region. But what pilot would be crazy enough to run…
I fell deeply in love with the author's prose. He delves deep into his characters, and even though there's not much plot, there's a lot going on emotionally.
Yates will take a whole paragraph explaining the feelings of a boy experiencing New York city for the first time, or a drummer's solo performance at a night club. These deep observations provide the reader with relatable moments. We become equally connected with the minor players as much as we do the main cast.
This was Yates' impressive debut novel, one where his individual writing style shines.
Hailed as a masterpiece from its first publication, Revolutionary Road is the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright young couple who are bored by the banalities of suburban life and long to be extraordinary. With heartbreaking compassion and clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April's decision to change their lives for the better leads to betrayal and tragedy.
