The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano

I suppose it's only fitting that I would buy a book in the Rome airport that is written by an Italian author and, of course, takes place in Italy. But in truth, the book has nothing to do with Italy. It could take place anywhere. It's about two people, Alice and Mattia, who each have secrets and each have major hangups and problems. Yet they are drawn to each other based on what they have in common. Certainly not the best book I've read this year, but a quick, good read. It's headed your way, BT. -June
