The Longest Journey

Rickie Elliot arrives at Cambridge with a clubfoot, a dream of writing, and a longing to belong. Surrounded by brilliant friends like the fiercely honest Stewart Ansell, he feels he has found a world of truth and beauty. But when he falls under the spell of the practical, charming Agnes Pembroke, he drifts from his ideals into a life of compromise at a second-rate school. Years later, a startling revelation about his family’s past forces Rickie to confront the lies he has lived by. Can he reclaim his own story—and save the brother he never knew? This faithful modern retelling captures Forster's sharp wit and aching tenderness, bringing the classic novel's questions about love, loyalty, and the price of authenticity to a new generation. Part of Timeless Classics.
