| Summary | "Here and Beyond" by Edith Wharton is a fictional work likely written in the early 20th century, as indicated by its publication date in 1926. The book explores themes of memory, loss, and the specter of the past through its central character, who is drawn into a complicated narrative involving ghosts and missed connections. The story immerses readers in the complexities of human relationships and the lingering impact of death. The opening of the narrative establishes a sense of unease and unpredictability as the protagonist grapples with a troubling memory. After an illness, the protagonist revisits a lonely place in Brittany, where social obligations lead him to seek out Mary Pask, the sister of an old friend. However, the visit takes a supernatural turn when he discovers that Mary Pask has died, yet he finds her somehow present and engaged in conversation with him. This initial scene sets a tone of ambiguity and tension, paving the way for a deeper exploration of the boundaries between life and death, as well as the protagonist’s attempts to reconcile his past with the chilling reality of mortality.
