"The Remains of the Day" by: Kazuo Ishiguro

It is the summer of 1956, when Stevens, a man who has dedicated himself to his career as a perfect butler in the one-time great house of Darlington Hall, sets off on a holiday that will take him deep into the English countryside and, unexpectedly, into his own past, especially his friendship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton.

NEW STORY: DIVINITY CALLS

# The Faithful

> There is a greater covenant than prey and predator to be had, greater than privation and profit, greater even than peace and plenty. It will take eons to comprehend the kindness at its heart, to press that knowledge into living minds and muscles; to render its absence no more than a foreboding memory.

With a little delay, here is the fourth instalment of my new story "The Dunes of Àrd-Dhìthreabh", Chapter 4. "Autumn"

Wissant, November 2061

Late Autumn was Muir's least favourite time of the year to be on the beach. The dark days and the interminable blanket of low grey cloud made him feel melancholy; and for some reason it always made him think of the battle that had been fought here. Which was now a hundred and twenty-five years ago, and still the beach was strewn with corroded bullets and age-blackened shells. The concrete bunkers had all turned to sand though, only their rebar remaining, like cubist whale skeletons.

You can also read it in PDF format or in EPUB format.
