A bedtime story for adults that soothes the mind and a sleep story for adults that invites you to rest in rhythm with a slower world. On a quiet cobbled street, above a glowing bakehouse, a small window opens to the scent of fresh bread and the first light of dawn. Inside the flat above the bakery, the day unfolds without urgency. A kettle sighs. Curtains drift. Light moves slowly across a worn tablecloth. Nothing needs to happen. And yet, everything feels alive. The Window Above the Bakery is a gentle, literary sleep story for adults.
