A stunning debut novel about the intertwined destinies of two friends brought together by childhood tragedy.
A three-million-copy Italian bestseller and winner of that country’s prestigious Premio Strega award.
A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one: it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, too, move on their own axis, alone with their personal tragedies. As a child, Alice’s overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. When she meets Mattia she recognizes a kindred, tortured spirit, and Mattia reveals to Alice his terrible secret: that as a boy he abandoned his mentally-disabled twin sister in a park to go to a party, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be found.
These two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia’s lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem intertwined: they are divisible only by themselves and each other. But the shadow of the lost twin haunts their relationship, until a chance sighting by Alice of a woman who could be Mattia’s sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface.
A meditation on loneliness and love, The Solitude of Prime Numbers asks, can we ever truly be whole when we’re in love with another? And when Mattia is asked to choose between human love and his professional love — of mathematics — which will make him more complete? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分此时此刻,再看见《质数的孤独》(The Solitude of Prime Numbers)这样的字眼,或多或少会影射到自己。 Alice与事业成功的丈夫结婚多年却依然不孕。她讨厌自己,讨厌永远的刻在自己下腹上的那朵紫罗兰。丢不掉的童年甩不脱的记忆让她虚脱,剩下的力量只能选择拒绝吃饭,让体内...
评分一对孪生质数终是不能相逢,各自孤独。可故事太忧伤了,我不接受这样的结局。
评分我喜欢这种细腻感。爱情、亲情、友情都无法消解的孤独感。
评分2个不快乐的人即使在一起也不会快乐的,所以这样的结局比较不狗血。故事的idea很棒。
评分我认可你的孤独但我不苟同,只因独自在外我尽量克制不触碰让我陷入无尽孤独深渊的书记影象
评分A prime number is a lonely thing.
