Title: La Solitudino di Numeri Primi/The Solitude of Prime Numbers
Author: Paolo Giordano
This story follows two characters - Alice and Mattia - over the course of about twenty years. They are close friends and have a dynamic that the author compares to "prime number twins" - two prime numbers, separated by one number - close but never touching. This is how Mattia and Alice's relationship is, close but they never come together. They bond over their traumatic experiences and difficult lives. The author is good at keeping your interest and you want to continue to find the resolution - however much of the resolution is left to the reader's imagination. It does get you thinking and examining life. A good read but a bit depressing.
Fiction; rated 3 out of 5
