I've been meaning to read this for ages and a friend of mine reminded me


I've been meaning to read this for ages and a friend of mine reminded me of it!
It's set in the summer of 1956 and the main character us a butler called Stephens.
He decides to go on a motoring trip through the West Country. The scenery and characters he meet are just delicious!
The six-day excursion unfolds his past through being a butler throughout two world wars, and a love affair that never came to fruition between him and his housekeeper.
It's a heartbreaking and fascinating short enough read. I loved the slow pace of the narration and how infuriated I was by the character of Stevens yet liking him and his sense of duty immensely.
A classic, love that Anthony Hopkins plays Stevens in the v film version. Perfect casting.
