The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano 271 pp.
I'm still not sure what I think about this book. It's the story of two people, both damaged physically and emotionally. Mattia is responsible for his mentally disabled twin sister's disappearance. He begins cutting himself as a way of coping with stressful emotions. Alice was forced to ski by her father when she was young. A skiing accident left her physically disabled. She becomes an anorexic. Each of them are compared to a prime number, divisible by itself and one. Mattia and Alice eventually develop an odd relationship and love for each other while enduring years of separation and Alice's marriage to another. It's not a happy story.
