For once, I felt Ivory stitched together the artistic, historical, and narrative elements of a film into a seamless whole and presented them with punch and panache. When I first saw The Remains of the Day upon its initial theatrical release in 1993, I went for Hopkins and Thompson but was surprised at how the story and themes quickly piqued my interest and held me spellbound throughout the 134-minute running time. I generally find them stuffy, languorous (dare I say boring?), and more concerned with atmosphere and mood than plot. I must admit I’ve never been much of a fan of Merchant-Ivory films. Stevens (Anthony Hopkins), the chief butler, and Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson), the head housekeeper, at a lavish country estate during the period just prior to World War II. Over the course of film history, many movies have depicted the rigid, stoic British personality, but perhaps none as incisively - and heartbreakingly - as The Remains of the Day, director James Ivory’s and producer Ismail Merchant’s lyrical, elegant adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel about the close yet tense relationship between Mr. The stiff upper lips, reserved nature, disdain for outward displays of emotion, and reluctance to express and indulge feelings and desires. ![]() ![]() ![]() A solid, suspenseful thriller that enables readers to envision the movie it could become.Publishers WeeklyĪbout the AuthorDaniel Pyle lives in Springfield, Missouri, with his wife and two daughters. ![]() The tourniquet-tight plot and constant suspense keeps the pages flying.

There is a killer on the loose at an old folks’ homeand as each body is found the vultures of suspicion circle slowly around Morana before taking a real interest in her and closing in for the kill. She is a psychologist who works for the police and suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder which makes her as unsure about what’s going on most of the time as you are as a reader. The story do esn’t move around very much physically either which makes it feel as though it’s all being played out inside her head. In many ways it feels as though the entire story happens between the ears of the central character, Morana ‘Moody’ Blue such is the claustrophobic nature of the narrative. ![]() It’s a psychological thriller in the true sense of the word. It’s slightly unorthodox in the way that it goes about itself but that’s what I liked about it. This book was a pleasant little surprise I must say. ![]() |
