Homing In by Macgoye Marjorie O.

Homing In is a powerful novel by acclaimed Kenyan writer Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye, exploring the complex social tapestry of modern Kenya. The story centers on two women—one white, the widow of a colonial settler, and the other black, her African maid and companion—who share and reflect on their interconnected past. Their recollections span the colonial era, the exhilarating days of independence, and the more subdued post-independence years. This intimate narrative masterfully navigates deep-seated conflicts between black and white, and the shifting dynamics between young and old in a nation forging its identity.
