Synopsis
When John takes the fifth room in a shared house, people start to talk about the things that matter. Every Friday evening over dinner they thrash out a chosen topic—sex, marriage, drugs, God, and money. Their debates are lively, passionate, and always personal. And as the weeks go by, their crises, conflicts, and beliefs begin to unfold. This bittersweet narrative deftly articulates, without moralizing, a quest for meaning amongst a frantic generation. With laugh-out-loud quotes and delicious recipes in the page margin, this will entertain those who enjoy good food, good conversation, and a look at the "deep stuff" in life.

And each of them finds they are beginning to change..."
