"The Cider House Rules" is an engaging, multi-layered, intimate, tragic, and at times humorous book, created by one of the best contemporary American storytellers of "great stories." The novel's action unfolds in a semi-forgotten orphanage on the coast of Maine, and its main theme is the established rules, written or not: whether a true person should play by them, or immediately reject them and create new, personal, more humane ones. But the list of themes the author explores is much broader — war and betrayal, questions of the soul's existence and violence against women, incest and death, the right to act and one's own fate. The author avoids moralizing, and his heroes — orphan Homer Wells and the head of the orphanage, St. Cloud Wilbur Larch, whom the reader will surely like — are true "one hundred percent rule breakers." In 1999, the novel "The Cider House Rules" was adapted into a film directed by Lasse Hallström, and John Irving received an Oscar for writing the screenplay for this dramatic film."
