The Cider House Rules -John Irving

John Irving has delivered yet again. This is the story of Homer Wells, an orphan born in a tiny abandoned logging town in Maine. Almost adopted three times to ill results, he becomes a permanent resident of the St. Cloud's orphanage, where a woman's right to choose holds center stage. In a place where it seems no one belongs, it is as though the orphanage itself has adopted Homer. Love, loss, family, and a full range of emotions and controversial topics. What a great, great story.
