Few skewer sanctimony quite like Irving at his best. More important: I fell in love, once again, with his people. Peter Orner,
The New York Times Book Review
After forty years, John Irving returns to the world of his bestselling classic novel and Academy Awardwinning film The Cider House Rules, revisiting the orphanage in St. Cloud's, Maine, where Dr. Wilbur Larch takes in Esthera Viennese-born Jew whose life is shaped by anti-Semitism.
A story that's unmistakably Irvingamiably peopled, compellingly plotted and, above all, compassionate for its characters (NPR).
Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board the ship to Portland, Maine; her mother is murdered by anti-Semites in Portland. Dr. Larch knows it won't be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther; in fact, he won't find any family who'll adopt her.
Not just a story of survival, but a profound exploration of coming of age, identity, belonging, and the enduring impact of history on our personal lives, Queen Esther is richly textured with unforgettable characters, vivid settings, and familial love that will stay with you long after you put the book down (The Jewish Book Council), showcasing why Irving remains one of the world's most beloved, provocative, and entertaining authorsa storyteller of our time and for all time.
