Description

Beyond by John Galsworthy follows Major Winton, a widower struggling with loss as his daughter Gyp marries against his wishes. Haunted by grief and jealousy, he reflects on love and separation while confronting her growing independence. As tensions rise around her new life and attachments, the novel explores parental devotion, emotional isolation, and the pain of letting go.

Author

John Galsworthy (1867–1933) helped shape the English novel's passage from Victorian certainties to twentieth-century doubt. A barrister who turned to literature in his thirties, he wrote with an insider's knowledge of the leisured classes and a reformer's impatience with their complacency. The Forsyte Saga made him famous — a multi-generational study of money, marriage, and the hunger to own.
