Light and darkness aren't two sides of a coin; they form a continuum. She gazed at the dimming landscape. Even in the darkest spaces, there is light.

Charming and heartwarming, MARIGOLD MIND LAUNDRY tackles the themes of love, loss, family, and grief.

In a small village where the air and water is clear, and the inhabitants know no pain, a young Jieun-- who's powers to grant wishes and comfort those in pain manifested later than the other children-- makes a devastating mistake. Suddenly alone in the world, Jieun vows to never rest until her beloved parents are returned to her.

Over a million lonely lives later, Jieun stumbles into the seaside village of Marigold. Tired of traveling, she decides to open the Mind Laundry; offering the services of mind cleansing and de-wrinkling. And in the process of helping others, Jieun herself may have some heartwarming revelations.

English readers should note, this book follows the trend of other Asian-translated books I've read (i.e. Before the Coffee Gets Cold, What You Are Looking For Is in the Library, and The Traveling Cat Chronicles) of having a thin plot in favor of deeper thematic exploration. This type of writing isn't for everyone, and should be taken into consideration before deciding to read MARIGOLD MIND LAUNDRY or not.
