The Cider House Rules

“[Irving] is among the very best storytellers at work today. At the base of Irving’s own moral concerns is a rare and lasting regard for human kindness.”

—Philadelphia Inquirer

     
 

 

“Superb in scope and originality, a novel as good as one could hope to find from any author, anywhere, anytime. Engrossing, moving, thoroughly satisfying.”

—Joseph Heller

     
 

 

“An old-fashioned, big-hearted novel . . . with its epic yearning caught in the nineteenth century, somewhere between Trollope and Twain.”

—Boston Sunday Globe

     
 

 

“The Cider House Rules is filled with people to love and to feel for. . . . The characters in John Irving’s novel break all the rules, and yet they remain noble and free-spirited.”

—Houston Post

John Irving won the Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published for Cider House Rules in 1999.
