An American classic first published in 1985 by William Morrow and adapted into an Academy Award-winning film, *The Cider House Rules *is among John Irving's most beloved novels.

It is also the story of Dr. Larch's favorite orphan, Homer Wells, who is never adopted.
“A novel as good as one could hope to find from any author, anywhere, anytime. Engrossing, moving, thoroughly satisfying.” —Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22
