The Longest Journey by E. M. Forster
An idealistic, sensitive young man is torn between his artistic aspirations and the suffocating respectability of marriage and a provincial school career, while a newly discovered, rough-hewn family tie challenges his notions of class, loyalty, and truth. As he struggles to reconcile friendship, desire for authenticity, and social pressure, he ventures from academic order into a more elemental rural world, where his pursuit of honesty and human connection culminates in a poignant, tragic reckoning with the cost of living true to oneself.
