Summary Thirty-something Nick is walking down Parramatta Roads six lanes of thundering traffic to see his former girlfriend Penny for the first time since they agreed to be just friends. By the novel's end, he is racing back up that same road so he does not lose her. Nick and Penny's awkward romance is played out against the backdrop of high capitalism and the rise of the digital age. Bombarded by advertisements, slogans, news, wars, politics and consumerism, just a little silence is hard to find
