This could be the perfect, short, first-person novel. It can't be more than 70k words, yet it says so much. The voice of Stevens the butler is perfect, as is his questioning of his past while he professes to be so proud of it.
I only wish that I had read it before seeing the movie. I can't tell if my love of the book has been influenced by the images from the movie. They are both excellent.
