MARIGOLD MIND LAUNDRY

Sofia Jin's gentle, calming voice perfectly suits this cozy audiobook about a woman who washes away painful experiences from people's hearts. Jieun has spent many reincarnated lives searching for her missing family until she finally settles into a laundromat. Five people with wounded souls come through, including a disheartened filmmaker and an overburdened social media influencer. Jieun listens carefully to their stories, transferring their unhappy memories into stains on a T-shirt that get washed away. Jin narrates with a British accent and warm confidence, embodying Jieun's wisdom as she dispenses advice to her customers. Smoothly differentiating characters by adjusting her cadence, pitch, and tone, Jin emotionally connects to their unique pains. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
