Lonely primes seek connection in an elegant tale.

"The Solitude of Prime Numbers" resonates deeply for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider looking in. Giordano crafts the narrative with mathematical precision balanced by a poetic exploration of human emotion. This novel's beauty lies in its ability to articulate the profound isolation and the rare, precious connections between 'misfits'. If unorthodox love stories interwoven with hints of science and introspection speak to you, this poignant debut will likely leave a lasting impression.

Description

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.
