![]() ![]() But then a chance sighting of a woman who could be Mattia's sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface. These two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia's lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem irrevocably intertwined. When she meets Mattia she recognises a kindred 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. The Solitude of Prime Numbers, is a novel by the Italian author Paolo Giordano, published in 2008. As a child Alice's overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. Alice and Mattia also move on their own axes, alone with their personal tragedies. A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one it never truly fits with another. ![]()
