具体描述
This acadamy-award winning screenplay by John Irving was written over a fourteen year period and is the companion screenplay to the Miramax film, co-starring Michael Caine, who won the Acadmy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dr.Wilbur Larch.
The Cider House Rules is set in rural Maine in the first half of this century. It tells the story of Homer Wells, an orphan who is raised and mentored by Wilbur Larch, the doctor at the orphanage. Dr. Larch teaches Homer eveything about medicine. Yet though his capacity for kindness is saintly, Larch is also an ether addict. He and Homer come into conflict, which is typical of many father-son relationships, but in this case, their conflict is intensified by their disagreements about abortion. The result is Homer leaves the only family he has ever known.
Homer's new life provides more excitement than he could have imagined, especially when he falls in love for the first time. But, when forced to make decisions that will change the course of his future, Homer finally realizes that he can't escape his past. The Cider House Rules is ultimately about the choices we make and the rules that are meant to be broken.

读后感
第一次拜读欧文大师的作品。约翰欧文，村上春树的偶像，当代文坛无可争议的小说宗师，被公认为在世作家中数一数二的角色。村上春树说，欧文本质上是位非常单纯的作家。但由于太过单纯，以致和这个不单纯的世界产生了冲突，反倒令人觉得他当现代性更加明显。 《苹果酒屋的规则》...
评分 评分 评分欧文的书看的第一本是寡居的一年，昨天把另外一本看完，是苹果酒屋的法则。 看欧文的书是需要一点耐心的，因为他总是能把一件平凡无奇的事，别人可能只用几句话一笔带过的事，浩浩荡荡写成几十页。所以这本书很长。长得感觉等不到尽头。但并不是说它无聊，因为欧文的语言有他自...

from ~6.20| when you read a brief history of St. Cloud's and read about his elaborate plan to exempt Homer from military draft as well as to resurrect Fuzzy Stone you realize Dr. Larch was a much deeper character than Homer who like most of John's protagonist was lovable but a bit bland a novel of his grandfather's generation
