The longest journey: Rickie Elliot is a student at early 20th century Cambridge, a university that seems like paradise to him, amongst bright if cynical companions, when he receives a visit from two friends, an engaged young woman, Agnes Pembroke, and her older brother, Herbert. The early promise of his future as a writer comes to nothing as he allows himself to be persuaded into a loveless marriage to Agnes after her financée is killed, and tied to a suffocating job arranged by her brother Herbert.
