Homing In won the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature and represents another chapter in Macgoye's sustained exploration of Kenyan identity and community. The novel examines what it means to come home — whether home is a physical place, a community, a set of values, or a state of mind — through characters navigating the tensions between their personal histories and the Kenya they find on their return. Through her writing, Macgoye reflects on the determination of Kenyan Africans to build a nation after dehumanisation under British colonialism, and her message is against the poverty that divides people. (Amazon) Macgoye's characteristically quiet, observational prose allows complex ideas about national belonging and personal identity to emerge naturally through story rather than argument, making this one of her most intellectually satisfying novels.

About Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye

Street Life by Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye

Street Life is a compassionate and unflinching look at the world of Nairobi's most vulnerable citizens — street children, casual labourers, and those living on the absolute margins of the city. Macgoye, who spent decades working among Nairobi's poor through missionary and community work, writes from direct experience and genuine solidarity rather than pity or distance. The novella follows several characters whose paths cross in the city's informal economy and street corners, each carrying their own story of displacement, loss, and small acts of kindness. It is a short book but one that leaves a lasting impression, capturing with economy and warmth the humanity that persists even in conditions of extreme hardship.
