There are many who knew Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye far longer and more intimately than I did and are, therefore, better qualified to write about her. However, my explanation for doing so is that, if I were to name five people who have most influenced my life, she would be one of them.
When a loved one dies, the mind begins to process shared experiences, very randomly: I first met Marjorie when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Nairobi, 42 years ago.
