The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano

The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano

"Mesmerizing...an exquisite rendering of what one might call feelings at the subatomic level." -The New York Times

From the author of Heaven and Earth, a sensational novel about whether a "prime number" can ever truly connect with someone else

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.

Paolo Giordano is also the author of the critically acclaimed books Like Family and The Human Body, as well as the international bestseller The Solitude of Prime Numbers, which has been translated into over forty languages, and the COVID-19 pandemic-themed book How Contagion Works. His most recent book is Heaven and Earth. Giordano is a full-time writer with a PhD in particle physics. He is a resident of Italy.
