Homer Wells' odyssey begins among the apple orchards of rural Maine. As the oldest unadopted child at St Cloud's orphanage, he strikes up a profound and unusual friendship with Wilbur Larch, the orphanage's founder - a man of rare compassion and an addiction to ether.

The Cider House Rules is difficult to define and impossible not to admire * Daily Telegraph * John Irving has been compared with Kurt Vonnegut and J. D. Salinger but is arguably more inventive than either. Wry, laconic, he sketches his characters with an economy that springs from a feeling for words and mastery over his craft. This superbly original book is one to be read and remembered * The Times * Funnier than Garp...it's an irresistibly readable yarn spun by a master's voice * Time Out * Like the rest of Irving's fiction, it is often disconcerting, but always exciting and provoking * Observer *
