the solitude of prime numbers by paolo giordano

Paolo Giordano writes with grace and elegance of gentle but damaged characters, using inventive language to create a story unlike anything in recent fiction. 'Surprising, intimate and deeply moving, The Solitude of Prime Numbers takes the readers on a hypnotic journey through an unexpected love affair.

An intimate psychological portrait of two 'prime numbers'-together alone and alone together.' Beautiful and reads easily, due in party to the almost seamless translation. A fragile, unconventional love story by a talent to watch.' 'This compelling debut shows a remarkable sensitivity and maturity in the depiction of its damaged soulmates. 'The elegant and fiercely intelligent debut novel by 27-year-old physicist Paolo Giordano, The Solitude of Prime Numbers revolves around Mattia and Alice, friends since high school-'twin primes, alone and lost, close but not close enough to really touch each other, ' wherein resides the seductive enchantment of this singular love story.' 'Giordano's passionate evocation of being young and in despair will resonate strongly with readers.' 'The melancholy that hangs over The Solitude of Prime Numbers is seductive and unnerving. An exquisite rendering of what one might call feelings at the subatomic level.' Giordano remarkably and movingly portrays the hesitant groping toward warmth that works beneath the pair's emotional disabilities. 'A mesmerizing portrait of a young man and woman whose injured natures draw them together over the years and inevitably pull them apart.
