Description
Al hospital St. Cloud´s se acercan muchas parejas o mujeres solas en situaciones desesperadas, dispuestas a abortar o abandonar a un hijo no deseado, que ponen en manos de un médico modélico, el doctor Larch. Éste siente un cariño especial por Homer Wells, su pupilo, al que transmite cuanto sabe de medicina. Homer, sin embargo, no comparte sus criterios sobre el aborto, y cree que necesita crecer fuera del hospicio y conocer mundo. La ocasión se le presenta cuando una joven pareja acomodada hace su aparición con la intención de abortar. Homer abandona con ellos el hospital y consigue trabajo como recolector de manzanas junto con unos temporeros negros. En la casa de la sidra donde se aloja conocerá el amor, pero también que las verdaderas normas que rigen nuestra vida sólo puede dictarlas el corazón.
First published in 1985, The Cider House Rules is John Irving’s sixth novel. Set in rural Maine in the first half of this century, it tells the story of Dr. Wilbur Larch—saint and obstetrician, founder and director of the orphanage in the town of St. Cloud’s, ether addict and abortionist. It is also the story of Dr. Larch’s favorite orphan, Homer Wells, who is never adopted. (source)
