Sinopse

"Sleepless Seattle" explores the fascinating evolution of Seattle's unique nighttime identity, tracing the city's transformation from a humble lumber town to a vibrant 24-hour metropolis. Through meticulous research spanning 150 years of urban development, the book reveals how Seattle's round-the-clock character emerged from its maritime industry roots and continued to evolve through various historical epochs, from the gold rush era to today's tech boom. The narrative weaves together multiple threads of Seattle's nocturnal story, examining how the city's coffee culture, grunge music scene, and modern technology sector have all contributed to its sleepless nature. Drawing from city archives, business records, and oral histories, the book illuminates how policy decisions and urban planning shaped Seattle's after-dark personality, while also highlighting the distinct nighttime communities that emerged across different periods. Particularly intriguing is the exploration of how the World War II shipyards and international trade necessitated a 24-hour workforce, permanently altering the city's nighttime economy. Moving chronologically from Native American nighttime traditions to contemporary urban challenges, the book offers valuable insights for urban planners, historians, and general readers alike. It thoughtfully examines current debates about balancing residential peace with commercial activity and preserving historical nighttime cultures amid rapid urban development, making it an essential resource for understanding how cities develop their nocturnal character while maintaining community identity.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle
