The Hotel New Hampshire is a 1981 novel by John Irving.
One of the most prominent themes of this story is that of the unconventional brother-sister relationship. John falls in love with his sister—and even states that after her, no other woman could truly satisfy him. This relationship is accepted by his siblings; his older brother, after all, is gay, and his younger sister is a dwarf. Franny and John cure their lust and passion for each other by the particularly useful method of doing or taking something in excess to the point that you never want to experience that thing again. For them, that is the turning point of their lives, and their relationship. They move on, and their relationship once again becomes strictly brother-sister, although there is some question as to whether they are seen kissing romantically near the end of the film.
