When your kids grow up and the world goes quiet, what next? In Boogie Wonderland, journalist Kate Halfpenny cracks open her own story of sea changes, midlife shake-ups and dancing into the next messy chapter of life. With warmth, honesty and sharp humour, Kate shares what happens when you pack up your family, move to the coast and realise you have to face yourself, not just the ocean.

This is for anyone who has ever stood at the clothesline wondering if there is more to life than washing and work. It is part memoir, part midlife anthem and a good reminder that it is never too late to dance to your own tune.

Perfect for fans of raw, funny Aussie life stories that feel like a glass of wine and a good chat with an old friend. Pop it in your basket and we will wrap it with care and our usual handwritten note, ready to post today from our Peninsula shelves to your beach bag.

Blurb

When Covid lockdowns hit Melbourne, metropolitan midlife couple Kate and Chris decide to make a sea change and move to a small coastal town to ease financial pressures and live out the beach lifestyle many of us dream of. But they didn't give much thought to just how different it would be. With late night drinking sessions in Melbourne's coolest suburbs replaced by the disconcerting peace of a summer destination largely quiet for the rest of the year, they're suddenly rattling around in their beautiful new home without kids, friends or a real community.

And when a disturbing truth about their marriage becomes unavoidable, it's time to face up to reality and ask what's really important. Should they stay or should they go? And what's next when your whole world seems to come crashing down around you?
