A prime number is inherently lonely: it can only be divided by itself or by one, never fitting in with others. Alice and Mattia are like these numbers, living around their own axes, alone with their respective tragedies. Alice, an introverted child, is forced by her father to take skiing lessons, leading to a terrible accident that leaves permanent marks. Mattia, a brilliant boy, leaves his disabled twin sister alone in a park, never to see her again. Years later, when these 'prime numbers' meet, they share a silent pain that no one else can understand, destined to live parallel lives without ever truly merging.
Paolo Giordano is an Italian writer who won the Premio Strega literary award with his first novel The Solitude of Prime Numbers.
