“Do you think there are largely happy histories for the babies born here?.But do I resist? I do not. As Homer strikes up an unusual friendship with Wilbur and begins to apprentice with him, he finds out that the doctor also performs abortions if the women wish. The story, set in rural Maine, follows Homer, the oldest unadopted child at the St Cloud’s orphanage, whose founder, Wilbur Larch is an ether-addicted obstetrician. The film adaptation, released fourteen years after the book’s publication, starred Tobey Maguire and Michael Caine, and won Irving an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.Įven though it was published over three decades ago, The Cider House Rules remains surprisingly relevant with the questions it raises about love and morality. And while Irving shot to popularity with The World According to Garp, published in 1978, it’s his novel about the life of orphan Homer Wells, The Cider House Rules, that best captures the quiet drama that gives his writing such cinematic appeal. Five of his novels have been turned into movies, with their sprawling scope, a multitude of fleshed out characters, and a sharp sense of the passage of time.
