La Lavanderia de Almas de Marigold

Welcome to Marigold Mind Laundry, where we wash away the stains in your heart. In this charming story, a best-seller in Korea, the enigmatic owner of a magical laundry that erases people's painful memories must learn to find her inner peace before she can truly help others... Young Jieun was born with mysterious powers that she doesn't know how to control. After an accident that caused her family to disappear, she vows to live a million lives in order to find them again. Finally, one night, she creates Marigold Mind Laundry. Her service is to draw out the deepest pain in our hearts. Jieun listens to customers as they share their unhappy memories with her. As they talk, she transfers that sadness onto their shirts in the form of stains. After a spin in the washing machine, the stains turn into flower petals that rise into the air, and Jieun's customers finally find solace. Five wounded souls come to Jieun for help: a frustrated young filmmaker, an out-of-control social media influencer, a mother betrayed by her husband, a woman abandoned by her lover, and a talented photographer who takes refuge in the security of a mundane job. As Jieun listens to each of their stories, she learns that the will to heal is not a special gift, but a power we all possess, if only we open ourselves to it... Light-hearted and inspiring, this work offers a wonderful and comforting read while teaching us to channel the magic that lives within all of us.
