"The prime numbers are evenly divisible only by 1 and themselves. They take their place in the infinite series of natural numbers and are, like all the other, sandwiched between two other numbers, although they more separated. They are lonely numbers, suspects, and so charmed Mattia, who sometimes think contained in this series by mistake, like pearls strung on a necklace, and sometimes they too would want to be like everyone else, ordinary numbers, and for some reason could not (...) Mattia and Alice thought he was that, two lonely and lost twin primes, near to but not together. " This paragraph explains perfectly the title of a novel that has captivated and thousands of readers, and among whom I include me. Loneliness prime number is one of those love stories impossible that in this case rests on two young people who are broken inside, each for different reasons, and that throughout their lives together again and again to finally again separated. It is as if destiny insist on denying them a future together, and both Mattia and Alice will have to fight this invisible force that seems to condemn them inexorably.
The two main characters are extremely complicated, and that makes them very attractive in the eyes of the reader. Each carries a terrible secret that away from the "normal"-a concept whose existence is questionable, "and makes them strangers before the eyes of others. This is even more true in adolescence, that period where being different is often associated with social isolation that can do much damage at this age. The burden crawl Mattia and Alice were weighed respectively throughout his life, and influence social relationships and their way of facing the future. However, although both will live their lives separately, the force that draws them together plays in key situations in which both feel that fulfillment and happiness that only sit next to the right person at the right time.
The truth is that in this book I liked everything from the characters exude a sadness and loneliness that we can not help but feel over the pages until Giordano style, simple but fluid and beautiful , a prose that reads easily and can be enjoyed from the very beginning. But surely it is this inability to reach fullness, such obstacles to happiness, what attracted me most of the book, because I firmly believe that real life is full of similar examples, not only in love but in all the aspects that make our existence, friendship, work, family. .. And the vast majority of the time is not destiny, but our own psyche, our prejudices and mental burdens, which prevent us from achieving what you truly want. This is what happens in the book. Mattia and Alice could actually be normal numbers if they wanted, but it is their personal injury who would become two prime numbers used to not really ever found.
Loneliness of prime numbers is the first novel of this young author, Paolo Giordano, and definitely provides a great debut for the Italian writer. We hope to continue delighting in the future with such touching stories like this. Me and has earned me as a reader.
