Rating: 4 out of 5

A lovely tale following a journey undertaken by a butler who alternates between reliving and justifying his past with his observations of his present. An enjoyable read but not one that demands you to give it all your spare time.

Highlighted passages:

‘You’ve got to enjoy yourself. The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it. That’s how I look at it. Ask anybody, they’ll all tell you. The evening’s the best part of the day.’

Perhaps, then, there is something to his advice that I should cease looking back so much, that I should adopt a more positive outlook and try to make the best of what remains of my day.
