Aprašymas

A heartwarming and charming novel set at a quaint late-night Tokyo bakery that offers a safe haven and help to troubled customers in need of comfort and hope.

Welcome to the Midnight Bakery.
In a quiet corner of Tokyo sits Boulangerie Kurebayashi, a peculiar bakery that only opens only from 11 p.m.-5 a.m. This bakery is unlike any other—it offers refuge to a clientele of outcasts looking for their place in the world.

Yosuke Kurebayashi, the bakery's owner, is as unusual as his shop, having suddenly gone from high-flying businessman to taking up someone else's dream. His head baker, Hiroki Yanagi, is foul-mouthed but good-looking and has his own complicated relationship with the owner.

Together they serve up steaming croissants and fresh rolls to their customers who bring their problems to the bakery. A lost sister, a lonely little boy, a man who hardly leaves his apartment, and a woman hiding from her past all come in the hopes that a pastry might heal their wounded souls, only to find so much more than that.

With an idiosyncratic cast of unique souls in search of the solace that only the bakery and its pastries can provide, The Midnight Bakery has already won the hearts of millions of readers worldwide.
