Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The sensational Korean bestseller

For fans of WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS IN THE LIBRARY and THE ALCHEMIST


Welcome to the Marigold Mind Laundry where we wash away the stains from your heart.

After young Jieun accidentally misuses her powers, causing her beloved family to vanish, she lives a million restless lives in search of them.

Overnight, in the village of Marigold on top of a hill, she conjures up her Mind Laundry, where she cleanses painful experiences from the heart, transferring them into stains on a T-shirt and turning them into dazzling red petals.

We meet five wounded souls: 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; a talented photographer and victim of bullying, who runs away into a mundane job.

After washing the pain and ironing their creases, Jieun discovers an astonishing revelation that will change her life.

As we laugh, wonder and grow, 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?
