Summary "Beyond" by John Galsworthy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character of Charles Clare Winton, a retired major who grapples with deep emotional loss and the complexities of love as he reflects on his past and current relationships, particularly with his daughter, Gyp, who is stepping into her own life and social circles. The story paints a poignant picture of Winton's inner turmoil and how it connects to Gyp's burgeoning identity and desires. The opening of "Beyond" introduces us to Winton on a gloomy February day as he leaves a registry office where his daughter has just married a man he disapproves of. His thoughts reflect a blend of nostalgia and regret, as he remembers the past tragedies tied to the loss of his love—the mother of his daughter, who died giving birth. As he processes his feelings of alienation following Gyp's departure, he battles jealousy and abandonment, especially regarding her affections for a musician named Fiorsen. The narrative sets a tone of emotional depth, exploring themes of love, loss, and the complexities of familial relationships as Winton navigates his relationship with his daughter while grappling with his own heartache.
