From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"To the Spring Equinox and Beyond”(彼岸過迄 higannsugimade) is a Japanese long novel written by Natsume Sōseki. It was serialized in Asahi Shimbun from January 1 to April 29, 1912, and published by Shunyodo in the same year. This is the first of a trilogy of  stories to follow "The Wayfarer" and "Kokoro"

Plot synopsis
It depicts the love between a self-conscious man and his innocent cousin　and the human situation around him with a delicate touch.

However, this is difficult to explain in general because the narrator changes from chapter to chapter.
