Deep Stuff: A Mostly Fictional Search for Meaning and a Good Meal

"Welcome to flat land. Shared house land. The land of contemporary lives, contemporary angsts. Welcome to the lives of Tasha, Siobhan, Quentin, and Clare. When John moves in, something seems to shift. Suddenly they seem to be arguing about things that matter. No one quite knows who suggested it, but soon they are spending Friday evenings eating and talking about money, sex, God, marriage, drugs, politics, parents, goals. And each of them finds they are beginning to change . . ." --from the Introduction Deep Stuff is a contemporary tale of five young urbanites who share a flat as well as a desire to find meaning in their lives. Riddell, through very engaging dialogue, invites us into their lives as they live together, go through their daily routines, and get under each other's skin.
