Reviews

What a heart wrenching book. Too much sorrow. Oh my. But I loved the interweaving of Kikuyu mythology, distant, and past history with Mukami's desperate life. A clever mind with sharp skill is clearly at work here. Events tied together in strange, mysterious ways. The book is both extended metaphor and identifiably Kenyan. * Makena Onjerika, 2018 Winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing * Rinsing Mukami's Soul' is an immersive experience. We fall in love with Mukami from the first page, as she experiences the turbulence and thrill of first love. We stay with Mukami as her world tumbles and she tries to save herself. McGrath takes us on a gritty yet spirited ride through 1980s Kenya, a society wrestling with corruption and grief in the wake of independence. McGrath is a talented writer. She manages to balance brutal realities with a light humourous touch that make 'Rinsing Mukami's Soul' a meaningful and entertaining read. * Isabelle Dupuy, Living the Dream *
