The Solitude of Prime Numbers Book

This book is going to be big. But, people still don't know that, people still haven't heard about Paolo Giordano and his brilliant, brilliant work called, 'The solitude of prime numbers'', which stands on the same magnificent title throne with Kundera's, ''Unbearable lightness of being''. And The solitude of prime numbers, easy to say, broke my heart.

Primary numbers are natural numbers that are divided only with number 1 and itself. In this book, in a human form of numbers, Alice and Mattia are separated from the world and from each other with layers of loneliness, personal traumas and decisions. Book is written during their period of 20 years, and with each chapter, you open a new door to a room full of reasonable social awkwardness.

While Alice wants to be accepted, but is suffocating, Mattia just made a ditch around himself and lives his life in accordance with math formulas. Their friendship is strong, but silent and touchless. She can't open him, and he doesn't know how to open himself to anybody. They are a twin prime; there is always a wall between them, they are alone and lost, close, but never too close to get into each others lives. 17 and 19 are divided by the whole world of number 18. 41 and 43 are divided by 42. And it's endless. It's hopeless. It's fucking heartbreaking.

This novel is cold and depressing read on the surface. Underneath you find fire, but it's still hidden and still spiced with scream, isolation, blood and pain. It's a story that is so tragically beautiful that will stay with you. You will not obey their rules and you will want to bridge them up.

You will want to leave an open door to love, or at least possibility of love. Trust me, read this book, please.
