The Remains of the Day

It's a very subtle book, more of a character study really, where you want so much for the main character without really liking him. In the end I felt myself wanting more of a climax, but the book was instead consistent in its subtlety. I am torn because I respect the author's choice to do that.

I read it as part of a book club and it made for some really great discussion, though a decent knowledge of 20th century world history is important.
