Synopsis
A Prayer for Owen Meany is a novel by American writer John Irving, first published in 1989. It tells the story of John Wheelwright and his best friend Owen Meany growing up together in a small New England town during the 1950-60s. Owen is a remarkable boy in many ways; he believes himself to be God's instrument and journeys on an extraordinary path of death, birth, love, disclosure and sacrifice.
Reviews
Great book. In Irvings usual style, it tells the story of a person with faults interspersed with hilarious irreverent interjections. I’ve read it several times and still see something new every time.
