About This Item
Synopsis
"Mesmerizing...an exquisite rendering of what one might call feels at the subatomic level." - The New York Times A prime number is a lonely thing. It can only be divided by itself or by one, and it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia are both "primes"-misfits haunted by early tragedies. When the two meet as teenagers, they recognize in each other a kindred, damaged spirit. Years later, a chance encounter reunites them and forces a lifetime of concealed emotion to the surface. But can two prime numbers ever find a way to be together? A brilliantly conceived and elegantly written debut novel, The Solitude of Prime Numbers is a stunning meditation on loneliness, love, and what it means to be human.
Reviews
Thanks to Goodreads for this first reads book. It was a good book with detailed characters whose lives were painful and lonely. There were times I felt I was reading a YA novel instead of adult fiction and it was an easy read that I finished in one day. There were places in the story that would have been improved by inclusion of details and other places where too much detail bogged it down. But altogether it was a great first effort for this young Italian author.
