Into the book
In the past, when she heard someone's sorrow and offered comfort, Ji-eun would return home and do laundry while recalling their stories.
I put in some detergent, kneaded the laundry, and looked at the white foam.
As I rinsed the laundry in water, the dust and dirt on the clothes washed away along with the bubbles.
After the laundry was done, I hung the laundry out to dry, hoping that their sadness and pain would be washed away.
As I hung up the laundry and stared blankly at the dripping water, I felt as if all the dregs of emotion in the world were drying away.
--- p.41
“Some painful memories must be erased in order to live, and some memories are painful, but we live with the strength to overcome that misfortune.
“Sometimes sadness can become the strength to live.”
--- p.55
I was lonely and leaned on someone, but love did not ease my loneliness.
The more empty my heart became, the more I became obsessed with Heejae, and the more he became, the further away he became.
It was not he, but himself who hurt Yeon-hee, who tried hard not to admit that they were growing apart.
I didn't know that love flows naturally like the seasons.
The season after spring may not be summer, but winter.
--- p.83
Those who open themselves up and say they want to heal their hearts are quite brave people.
Most people are sick inside.
Most people live without even realizing that they are sick or in pain.
We live without even knowing that we need to heal one or two of our most painful wounds to make life worth living.
--- pp.109-110
The day she first held the warm, little lump of flesh, Yeonja realized that she had lost the freedom to die.
And there was no room to attach too much meaning to living.
Because I was born, I live, and because I am alive, I lived.
And still alive.
I don't know how the time passed.
--- p.158
It's a space I've been watching for a long time, and the interior is warmer and more comfortable than it looks from the outside.
What you see from the outside is always different from what you see from the inside.
The temperature that determines the difference between inside and outside may be an individual's thoughts and perspectives.
Because people see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and feel what they want to feel.
Also, people show what they want to show and tell what they want to tell.
--- p.200
“If someone hates me and hates me, don’t take that feeling and hurt them, but return it to me.
Since I returned it without receiving it, the wound is not mine but the other person's.
Do not disturb the paradise of the mind and refuse to receive it.
“That’s okay.”
--- p.210
“And remember.
God gives humanity the best gift wrapped in a trial.
If you're having a hard time today, it's because you're preparing to receive a gift.
“You could be unwrapping a huge gift.”

Publisher's Review
Looking after the wounds of the heart
The Tale of the Mysterious Laundry on the Hill
"Marigold Heart Laundry," beloved by readers across Asia, Europe, and North and South America, is resuming its warm journey with a new, sensational design.
Sometimes we wish we could turn back time and go back to the past and undo things we regretted.
But is erasing that event truly a wise choice? And if I erased that memory, would I still be where I am today? If I could just erase that memory, would I be happy in the future?
"The Marigold Heart Laundry" is a healing fantasy novel that depicts the events that take place in a slightly suspicious and mysterious laundromat that opens on a hill in the middle of the night.
A mysterious woman with a pale white face, a body as thin as chopsticks, and long, curly black hair makes warm tea every day for anyone who visits the laundry shop.
Those who drink tea unknowingly tell her secret stories that they have never told anyone else.
Will those who ask for the memories of a painful day to be completely erased, as if they were stains, be able to leave the laundromat and be happy?
Author Jeong-eun Yoon, who has been greatly loved by approximately 500,000 readers, including 『It's Okay to Live the Way You Want』, has published a full-length novel, 『Marigold Heart Laundry』, 11 years after winning a literary award. It unfolds in the background of a laundromat that magically appears in a quiet village.
Through the various stories and deep conversations of people who happened to visit the laundromat, the inner changes that come to the laundromat owner, Ji-eun, are depicted with a warm gaze.
A childhood plagued by poverty and giving up on one's dreams, a betrayal by a lover, a life lost in the pursuit of wealth and fame, the wounds and wandering caused by school violence, a youth dedicated to one's children—these stories, each resembling our own lives, resonate deeply with us.
The courage to admit one's wounds and open one's heart, as well as the warm heart to empathize with the pain of one's neighbors and comfort their wounds, are deeply reflected throughout the work.
This book, "The Marigold Heart Laundry," will be a hiding place where you can hide and shake off your wounds on days when you feel driven to the edge of a cliff, days when you wish you had no heart at all.
Author Jeong-eun Yoon tells us in “Marigold Heart Laundry” that just as the sun and the moon coexist in the same sky, sadness and joy are ultimately connected.
It shows that even painful wounds can become beautiful flowers, that there is a 'bright sadness', and that someone's encouragement and faith can bring me back to life even on days when I want to give up everything, through a space called 'Mind Laundry' and the people who come and go from there.
This novel will make you shed tears along with the heartbreaking stories of the characters in "The Marigold Heart Laundry," feel a tugging sensation at their tenacious struggles to survive, and seriously reflect on the choices and wounds of the past.
