While travelling around England, Stevens gets an insight into his life and becomes more aware of his long-standing devotion to his former employer, Lord Darlington, and his love for a housekeeper, Miss Kenton. Set against the vivid tableau of the interwar period and the years leading to World War II, the narrative explores themes of dignity and duty with the costs when loyalty is placed in the wrong hands.
