AN INVISIBLE SIGN OF MY OWN is the story of Mona, a young woman obsessed with numbers, whose life is becoming overrun by bizarre compulsions. She lands a job as a primary school maths teacher, and creates a 'beautiful museum of numbers' where anything - a child, a brooch, a jelly, an amputated arm - has deeper meanings. Then she meets the science teacher, who has burns on his fingers and a strange talent for teaching his pupils the symptoms of scurvy, and love, and sanity, begin to enter her world.

UK and US praise for Aimee Bender:

'Aimee Bender's spectacular first novel...masterful' Village Voice



"Witty and engaging . . . a fanciful and original take on the quietly helter-skelter world that lies within." -The New York Times Book Review



"This novel is light as a zephyr and unique as a snowflake."-The Washington Post



"[Bender] has taken an achingly idiosyncratic story and rendered it with eloquence, hilarity, and ominous precision. . . . [B]eguiling and chilling at once."-The Boston Globe



"A hypnotic love story that transports the reader to a parallel universe where even math is romantic."-Harper's Bazaar



"A novel that resembles a mad croquet game, played in the mystical thicket of everyday life."


-Los Angeles Times



"Surreal, edgy, and endearing all at once." -USA Today



"Bender's prose [is] always beautiful, always original." -Salon
