We will wash away your pain and iron away any creases in your heart.
Overnight, in the village of Marigold on top of a hill, old Jieun has conjured up a magical Mind Laundry, where she cleanses painful experiences from her customer's hearts, transferring them into stains on a T-shirt and transforming them into dazzling red petals.
We meet five of Jieun's customers to her laundry - a frustrated young filmmaker; a tortured social-media influencer; a distraught mother who has discovered her husband's other family; a young woman two-timed by her lover, and Yeonghui, a victim of bullying, who works as a delivery man to escape his pain in routine.
After washing away their pain and ironing out their creases, Jieun discovers an astonishing revelation about memory, pain and moving on.
As we laugh, wonder and grow with the vivid characters in this book, Marigold Mind Laundry shows how we too can tap into the positivity and magic that lies in us all.
Which bad memories would you like to wash away?
