The Cider House Rules (1985) is a Bildungsroman by American writer John Irving that was later adapted into a 1999 film by Lasse Hallström and a stage play by Peter Parnell. Set in the pre- and post-World War II era, the story tells of a young man named Homer Wells growing up in an orphanage under the guidance of Dr. Wilbur Larch, an obstetrician and abortion provider. It shows Homer's coming of age as he eventually sets off on his own.
