This one I opted to read because I was looking for something from a Nobel prize winner, and this came around at the right time. However, this one is quite old.
This is one of the amazing read I had. The narrative was so soft, and this remains beautifully poised between a love story and a life story.
The plot revolves around a butler from England Stevens who dedicated all his life to served his master with honor. The whole narrative flows around his life, and the housekeeper Miss Kenton.
There were clear incidences where we can see that Miss Kenton admires or even romanticize her time with Stevens, of course with some tension around it. However, Stevens was so much serious about his duties that he forgot to take note of things around him. His whole life was to keep his duties, and dignity.
Later in his life he starts on a journey post getting a letter from Miss Kenton. When he slowed down a bit in life, and looked back, he realized that he had a chance to be happy, and be with somebody whom he loved/liked but couldn't realize.
He ends up with a thought that taking a pause is actually not that bad, and it gives you an opportunity to look, enjoy, and appreciate things in your life which make it worth one.
