Kieren-Paul-Brown’s N-Word is more than just a novel—it’s a bold exploration of identity, race, and spirituality. The story centers around Antonia, an 85-year-old white woman who has long admired Black culture and is reincarnated into the body of Cara, a young Black social media influencer. This unique premise allows the book to span two distinct timelines: the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and Cara’s present-day life in 2024.
Kieren masterfully blends genres, crafting a narrative that moves seamlessly between historical fiction, erotic thriller, and psychological drama. At its core, N-Word is a love story—a tale of soulmates separated by time and circumstances, yet deeply connected across lifetimes.
In his interview, Kieren shared his motivations for writing the novel, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding. As a British author of African descent, he offers a fresh perspective on American culture, race as a construct, and the universal human experience. He also dives into the
spiritual themes in the book, touching on reincarnation and the sacred feminine as key elements that enrich the story.
N-Word isn’t for the faint of heart, but its unapologetic approach to sensitive topics makes it a must-read for anyone looking to expand their worldview.
Experience a story that challenges societal norms while celebrating the shared humanity within us all.
