If you saw the movie a couple of years ago called "The Door in the Floor" this is the book that inspired it and this wonderfully long, engrossing novel te story of Ruth Cole, her father, Ted Cole, her mother Marion Cole, precious Eddy and the impact of the deaths of her two brothers have on her family as they muck their way through life. One of John Irving's best, in my opinion.
