ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving tells the story of the narrator's profound relationship with Owen Meany, a small, unusual boy with an unwavering faith. The narrative follows their lives from childhood in Gravesend, New Hampshire, through their time at Gravesend Academy. The story delves into themes of faith, loss, and destiny, as the narrator grapples with the events surrounding his mother’s death, which involved a baseball hit by Owen, and how it shapes his understanding of life. Owen's distinctive voice and his unique perspective on religion are a constant source of both conflict and inspiration for the narrator. The story also examines the narrator's family history and his religious journey, while Owen's unwavering faith and strong convictions are presented as a sharp contrast. The novel explores themes of religious belief, the impact of the past on the present, and the struggle to find meaning in the face of tragedy.
