Letters from Gilgil 3 by Peter Massam Receives Accolades
United Kingdom, 25th Jun 2025, – Acclaimed author Peter Massam returns with Letters from Gilgil 3, the final and most introspective volume in his celebrated travel memoir trilogy. Recently honored with the BREW Seal of Excellence and the Book World Front Award, this conclusion is already being hailed as a “literary landmark in ecological and cultural nonfiction.”
“If volume one was the warm-up, and volume two the crescendo, this final entry is the exhale,” writes The Chrysalis BREW Project. “A symphony played not on instruments, but on altitude, resilience, and the red volcanic soil of Kenya’s hidden roads.”
Structured around letters written during a teaching placement in 1980s Kenya, Letters from Gilgil 3 recounts Massam’s most ambitious journeys: a starlit climb up Mount Kenya to witness Halley’s Comet; a trek into Turkana’s lava fields; a final, slow safari through lands on the cusp of change.
Massam combines evocative storytelling with real science and anthropology. Readers will learn how obsidian shards tell geological stories, why fossilized Nile perch bones matter, and how tribal customs can teach resilience and grace.
“Massam doesn’t write to impress,” notes OneTribune Media. “He writes to preserve. And he invites us not to spectate, but to witness.”
“Each book in this trilogy is a compass,” states The Chrysalis BREW Project. “Together, they form a cartography of grace.”
Available Now
Letters from Gilgil 3 is available in print and digital formats through major booksellers. A collector’s edition of the full Letters from Gilgil trilogy, including restored slides and new author annotations, is planned for early 2026.
