In this enchanting talea blockbuster bestseller in Korea the enigmatic owner of a magical laundromat that erases peoples painful memories must learn to find her own peace before she can truly help others. Born with mysterious powers she does not know how to control, young Jieun accidentally causes her family to vanish. She vows to live a million lives in search of them. Finally, one night, she brings the Marigold Mind Laundry into existence. Its service: to remove the deepest pain from our hearts. Jieun listens while customers share their unhappy memories. As they speak, she transfers their sadness onto T-shirts as stains. After a spin in the washing machine, the stains become flower petals that soar into the air--and Jieuns customers find solace. Five wounded souls come to Jieun for help: a frustrated young filmmaker; a spiraling social media influencer; a mother betrayed by her husband; a woman jilted by her lover; a talented photographer who hides in the saftey of a mundane job.

Joyous and inspiring, Marigold Mind Laundry offers wonderment and comfort as it teaches us to tap into the magic that lives within us all.

Ever wanted to pull out your brain & give it a scrub? At the Marigold Mind Laundry, you can metaphorically do that, erasing stains of loneliness, heartbreak, & anger. But you also might learn more about what you need.

I was worried about the “removing stains” idea, but this novel treats emotional stains w/ more nuance, recognizing that bad things happen, & erasing them completely changes everything. A little too disconnected, but sweet.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

This has an appealing cover. The book, however, did not blow me away. A woman, an empath, "builds" a laundry to erase emotional stains.
