A Prayer for Owen Meany - Large Print by John Irving (Paperback)

A Prayer for Owen Meany is a remarkable novel that will leave readers feeling sorry to leave the richly textured and carefully wrought world of its pages.

This extraordinary, original, and enriching book tells the story of two eleven-year-old boys who are best friends playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, when one of them hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother.

The boy who hits the ball does not believe in accidents; instead, he believes he is God's instrument.

What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and will leave readers in awe of this incredible novel.
