description: Winner of the 2001 Ariadne Prize for a novel in the literary/mainstream tradition. A smart coming-of-age story about a young mathematician lost in the world outside of numbers. Cecilia had plenty to think about during the final days of high school and the early stages of her application to Harvard. She was by turns a competent musician and a gifted student of mathematics. It seemed that her life was set on a course which led to a dazzling future. But abruptly Cecilia discovered that she did not need to set a course, that sometimes the best direction is no direction at all. She did not have to pursue life itself would unroll the future in her own inescapable path.
