Mr. Stevens has been a butler in a great house since the 20s. It is now after the war and he embarks on a "motoring tour" to visit a former housekeeper. Throughout the trip he reminisces about his life. He has spent his life, his career, being invisible, emotionless and completely selfless. By the end his emotions are showing as he realizes his life has been basically wasted. The story kind of sucks you in with it's understated style. It's tragic and powerful.
