About the book
Brooklyn is “home" to Dell and Rebe, two humans searching, whether they know it or not. Dell searches through his art while Rebe searches through her body as a fine art model. An evening life drawing class sparks a connection between the two, sending them on parallel journeys of self-discovery through sexual awakening and an unspoken embodiment of a unique type of love.
From New York to the scenic mountains of central Portugal, then through Lisbon, Oaxaca, and back to Brooklyn, Rebe finds herself questioning her truth, and Dell his sanity. In this tale of love, enchantment, passion, and delusion, the human and the mystical coalesce to birth a profundity of transformation, healing, and clarity that the two have never known before.
Written in her signature soulful and poetic prose, Nkem Chukwumerije engages the visceral, subtle, and erotic senses to make sense of mystery and mingle, indulgently, with the unknown in Neptune Skies.
