Title: New to Irving
Review: This book is wonderful (I have 50 pages left). I am new to John Irving's novels, and am curious to read more. While the book dragged at certain points, overall it was a heart-touching tale of orphans and the only man who devotes himself to them. As for the abortion theme, it was definitely an apropos subject to touch upon in this novel. With Dr. Larch as the "master" and Homer as the "student" they still remain quite their own persons (notably in relation to their views on abortion), and have stark differences which makes their relationship compelling.
